The Board has granted a 10% evaluation for right wrist tendonitis effective June 21, 2005. The veteran's condition was previously rated as noncompensable from June 3, 2002 to June 20, 2005.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the evidence demonstrated a marked limitation of wrist motion and decreased strength on June 21, 2005, which more closely met the criteria for a 10% rating than a noncompensable rating. The right wrist was not ankylosed at this time.
