Denied
The Board denied a higher rating for the Veteran's stress fracture of the left foot with degenerative joint disease, finding that the symptoms did not more nearly approximate moderately severe other foot injuries.
The deciding factor: The evidence of record did not support a rating in excess of 10 percent as the Veteran's condition was only manifested by no more than moderate symptoms.
