Granted
The Board granted a 30 percent rating for gout of the bilateral feet, but no higher.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's gout of his feet more nearly approximated a severe injury to his feet due to symptoms such as severe and debilitating pain, swelling, tingling, erythema, disturbance of locomotion, and interference with standing that occurred during flare-ups.
