Partly granted
The Board granted a 30 percent rating for right foot great toe amputation, restored a 20 percent rating for left foot calluses on the inferior aspect of first metatarsophalangeal and lateral aspect of fifth metatarsophalangeal joint, and granted service connection for right foot plantar fasciitis. Other claims were denied.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the severity of the amputations and their impact on the Veteran's ability to function under ordinary conditions of life and work, as well as the evidence supporting the service connection claim.
