The veteran's cervical spine intervertebral disc syndrome is currently rated at 10 percent, but the Board finds that a higher rating of 30 percent is warranted due to painful limitation of motion and muscle spasm. Ratings for right wrist tendinitis and strain are not met at any time during the appeal period.

The Board has determined that the severance of service connection for left and right upper extremity radiculopathy was improper, as there is not clear and unmistakable evidence that the criteria for evaluating cervical spine intervertebral disc syndrome based on incapacitating episodes contemplates associated neurological manifestations. As a result, the Veteran's separate 20% disability ratings for bilateral upper extremity radiculopathy are restored.

The reduction of the disability rating for cervical spine intervertebral disc syndrome from 30 percent to 20 percent was not proper, and restoration of the 30 percent rating is granted.,The reduction of the disability rating for carpal tunnel syndrome (right hand) from 30 percent to 10 percent was also not proper, and restoration of the 30 percent rating is granted.

The Board denied the veteran's claims for increased ratings for his service-connected lumbar myositis, psychoneurosis and conversion hysteria, residuals of shrapnel wounds of the left thigh and pelvis with retained foreign bodies and scars, and residuals of shell fragment wounds of the right thigh and left leg. The veteran was also denied entitlement to a total disability rating based on individual unemployability due to service-connected disabilities.

The Board denied the Veteran's claim for an initial evaluation in excess of 10 percent for his service-connected coronary artery disease, finding that the evidence did not support a higher rating based on the severity of his condition.
