The Board has granted a 10 percent evaluation for status post fracture of the radial head, left elbow and a 10 percent evaluation for left ulnar nerve neuralgia. The veteran's service-connected conditions have been evaluated based on their direct impact without any presumption or secondary connection.
The deciding factor: The evidence showed that the veteran had residual symptoms from his service-connected conditions, including pain and weakness in his left elbow and hand, which were rated according to the criteria for arthritis and nerve compression.
