Granted
The Board granted a 10 percent rating for the entire appeal period for service-connected residuals of right ankle sprains, as the Veteran's disability manifested as painful motion which most nearly approximated no more than moderate limited motion.
The deciding factor: The evidence supported that the Veteran's right ankle disability manifested as painful motion, warranting a minimum 10 percent rating under Diagnostic Code 5271.
