Granted
The Board granted a 10 percent rating for the Veteran's residuals of an abdominal muscle injury, finding that the disability resulted in at least a moderate level of disability due to intermittent pain and flare-ups affecting the ability to move from sitting to standing position.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the evidence supported a moderate level of disability but not more severe, resulting in a 10 percent rating under Diagnostic Code 5319.
