Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claims for a rating in excess of 20 percent for his service-connected right ankle disability and a compensable rating for his service-connected right ankle scars.
The deciding factor: The probative evidence did not establish that the Veteran's right ankle disability warranted a higher rating or that his right ankle scars were painful, unstable, associated with underlying soft tissue damage, or exceeded an area of 144 square inches (929 sq. cm) or greater.
