Granted
The Board granted the appeal seeking to establish that the bilateral factor was not correctly applied in calculating the Veteran's combined disability rating, resulting in a combined rating of 50 percent effective November 30, 2017.
The deciding factor: The calculation did not take into account the Veteran's painful scars of the right foot associated with right ankle osteoarthritis in the bilateral factor computation.
