Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claims for increased ratings for her service-connected right and left fifth toe disabilities, finding that they do not more nearly approximate a moderate injury in either foot.
The deciding factor: The evidence of record did not support a finding of moderate or greater impairment due to the Veteran's fifth toe disabilities, as she reported no pain, functional loss, or other symptoms that would warrant a compensable rating under applicable diagnostic codes.
