Denied
The Board denied an evaluation in excess of 10 percent for the right and left ankle disabilities based on moderate limitation of motion, as there was no evidence of marked limitation of motion or additional functional loss due to pain.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's reported symptoms did not equate to marked limitation of motion required for a higher rating under Diagnostic Code 5271.
