Granted
The Board granted a 20 percent disability rating for the Veteran's right foot disability, finding that the symptoms were moderately severe and met the criteria under DC 5284.
The deciding factor: The VA examination noted moderate to severe flare-ups and limited ability to stand or walk for prolonged periods due to pain in the right foot. However, a higher rating was not warranted as the evidence did not show a severe level of disability.
