Partly granted
The veteran's claim for a higher rating for hammertoe was denied, but the claim for service connection for depression was remanded for further evaluation.
The deciding factor: The decision on the hammertoe rating was based on the lack of evidence showing moderately severe symptoms during the appeal period.
