Partly granted
The veteran's claims for an effective date of November 9, 2012 for right and left ankle conditions were granted. The claims for a rating in excess of 20 percent since November 3, 2020 were denied. The issue of total disability based on individual unemployability (TDIU) was remanded.
The deciding factor: The Board found that new and material evidence was received within the appeal period that was not addressed by the VA.
