Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claim for a rating higher than 10 percent for service-connected coccydynia. The veteran is already receiving the maximum schedular rating for this condition.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the veteran's separate ratings for associated manifestations adequately capture the severity of the disability, and a higher rating would constitute pyramiding.
