Granted
The Board found that the rating reduction for the right ankle disability from 20 percent to 10 percent, effective July 1, 2021, was improper and restored the 20 percent rating.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show sustained material improvement in the Veteran's ability to function under the ordinary conditions of life, as required for a valid reduction.
