Partly granted
The Board denied an evaluation in excess of 10 percent for the service-connected status post fracture of the left ischium and granted a total disability individual unemployability (TDIU). The Board remanded entitlement to service connection for varicose veins.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show that the Veteran's service-connected s/p fracture of the left ischium resulted in ankylosis, flail joint, or impairment of the femur. However, his disabilities met the schedular criteria for consideration of a TDIU and precluded him from substantial and gainful employment.
