Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claims for increased ratings for right and left foot hallux valgus, finding that a 10 percent rating was appropriate given the severity of symptoms.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support higher ratings as the maximum schedular ratings had been assigned and there were no additional symptoms to warrant an extraschedular evaluation.
