Partly granted
The Board granted an earlier effective date of November 29, 2021 for a 20 percent rating for the right foot status post calcaneal fracture and a noncompensable (0 percent) rating for the right foot scar. The appeal was denied for other issues.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the evidence supported an earlier effective date of November 29, 2021 for the right foot disability based on the severity of symptoms at that time, but denied earlier dates for other claims as a matter of law.
