Partly granted
The Board denied ratings in excess of 10 percent for left and right lower extremity restless leg syndrome, a rating in excess of 70 percent for a psychiatric disability, and a compensable rating for left great toe ingrown toenail with tinea unguium. However, the Board granted an initial rating of 50 percent for posttraumatic concussive headaches.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms were found to be more closely approximating mild neuropathy in both lower extremities and moderate severity for psychiatric disability, but not warranting a higher rating.
