Denied
The Board denied service connection for a limp as it is considered a symptom of the Veteran's already service-connected disabilities and would violate the rule against pyramiding.
The deciding factor: The evidence does not show that the Veteran's limp complaints are associated with any current disability other than his service-connected SI joint dysfunction, and assigning a separate rating would result in pyramiding.
