Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for a rating in excess of 10 percent for his low back strain based on the evidence showing that the disability did not meet the criteria for a higher rating.
The deciding factor: The functional limitation due to pain and other factors was not sufficient to warrant a higher rating under the applicable diagnostic codes.
