Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claims for higher initial ratings for left and right ankle sprains, as there was no evidence of marked limited motion in either ankle.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's ankle conditions did not meet the criteria for a rating higher than 10 percent due to insufficient evidence of marked limited motion.
