Partly granted
The Board denied an initial rating higher than 10 percent for a right ankle ligament sprain but granted a separate 10 percent rating for right ankle swelling and instability.
The deciding factor: The evidence of record did not support a higher rating for the right ankle ligament sprain, while there was sufficient evidence to grant a separate rating for swelling and instability.
