Granted
The Board granted initial disability ratings of 10 percent for right ankle strain, 20 percent for right ankle instability, and 50 percent for headaches.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms of pain and functional loss in the right ankle, as well as his reported stability issues, warranted higher disability ratings than those currently assigned.
