Partly granted
The Board denied the veteran's claims for increased ratings for tarsal tunnel syndrome of both lower extremities and remanded service connection claims for right and left ankle conditions.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's tarsal tunnel syndrome was found to be no more than moderate incomplete paralysis, warranting a 10 percent rating. The Board also determined that further evidence is needed to establish the etiology of the veteran's ankle pain.
