Granted
The Board granted an increased rating of 60 percent for left lower extremity PVD status post loss of use and below knee amputation.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's condition more nearly approximates amputation not improvable by prosthesis controlled by natural knee action, warranting a maximum 60 percent schedular rating under Diagnostic Code 5164.
