Denied
The Board denied the veteran's appeal for an initial rating in excess of 10 percent for a right thigh disability, finding that a 10 percent rating was appropriate under DC 5326 and was the highest schedular rating available.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a higher rating as it showed minimal atrophy, normal strength and range of motion, and no significant impairment of function during the period on appeal. The highest schedular rating for this disability is 10 percent under DC 5326.
