Partly granted
The veteran's request for a higher rating for right ankle injury was denied. The claim for service connection for depression was remanded for further evaluation.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a rating higher than 10% for the ankle injury, and additional development is needed for the psychiatric disorder claim.
