Partly granted
The Board granted a 20 percent rating from July 21, 2021, for the Veteran's spine disability and remanded the issue of entitlement to a rating in excess of 20 percent.
The deciding factor: The probative evidence showed that the Veteran's range of motion was limited to between 30 and 60 degrees of forward flexion from July 21, 2021, which supported a 20 percent rating under the General Rating Formula for Diseases and Injuries of the Spine.
