Denied
The Board denied a rating in excess of 10 percent for the Veteran's residuals of right foot fourth and fifth distal phalanges, status post crush injury, as the evidence did not support a finding that his disability was more than moderate.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's symptoms were best characterized as mild and did not warrant a rating in excess of 10 percent under Diagnostic Code 5284.
