Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for an initial compensable disability rating for a left foot hallux valgus prior to February 8, 2021, and in excess of 10 percent thereafter.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show that the Veteran required surgery of the metatarsal head or severe hallux valgus equivalent to amputation of the great toe during the relevant appeal period.
