The Board has denied the veteran's claim for an increased rating for his service-connected residuals of a left wrist fracture, finding that the evidence does not support a higher rating under any applicable diagnostic codes.
The deciding factor: The medical evidence shows no more than pain with full range of motion and grip strength in the left wrist, which does not meet the criteria for a higher rating under any applicable Diagnostic Codes.
