The Board has granted a 10 percent evaluation for the veteran's service-connected residuals of a left wrist fracture, effective from the date of claim.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner found that the veteran's left wrist disability resulted in limitation of motion and degenerative joint disease without meeting criteria for higher ratings based on actual or functional loss of motion.
