Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claims for an increased rating for left big toe spurs and hallux valgus, as well as a compensable rating for right bundle branch block (RBBB).
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support finding that the Veteran's RBBB resulted in METs between 7.1 and 10.0 or heart failure symptoms, and there was no persuasive evidence of functional limitations related to his left big toe spurs and hallux valgus.
