If a Veteran has a found pending claim from an increase in 2000 for limitation of motion SC rated at 0% and now has opportunity to present information to close the claim (2016), how would it be handled?
Specifically, if the current state of the disability with 30% Ankylosed at -5 degrees dorsiflexion, but there was limited medical records between 2000 and 2016, would the VA apply the 30% rating for all 16 years based on a current DBQ/C&P... or would seek to diminish the rating on the years in between?
