Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claims for increased ratings for his left wrist and right ankle disabilities, as well as a disability rating in excess of 10 percent for service-connected scars.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show ankylosis or marked limitation of motion that would warrant higher ratings under the applicable diagnostic codes.
