Partly granted
The Board granted an initial disability rating of 30 percent for the lower right leg strain prior to February 7, 2022, and denied a higher rating. The claims for increased ratings were remanded.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's lower right leg strain was found to be moderately severe, warranting a 30 percent disability rating, but no higher due to the lack of evidence indicating more severe impairment.
