The Board has remanded the Veteran's claims for additional development, including a VA medical examination to determine the severity of his service-connected laceration of the fingers and an extraschedular evaluation. The case will be returned to the Board after these actions are completed.

The Board denied service connection for various conditions, including fractures of the wrists and ankles, a foot disorder, hypertension, lacerations to fingers and palms, and a skin condition. The decision states that there is no current evidence of these conditions during the appeal period.

The Veteran's claims for a higher initial rating in excess of 10 percent for laceration of the right long finger and right ring finger, status post-excision bony exostosis at the proximal interphalangeal joint of the right long finger on an extraschedular basis under 38 C.F.R. § 3.321(b)(1) and a total rating based on individual unemployability due to service connection disability (TDIU) were both denied.

The Veteran's appeal is being remanded for additional development, including a vocational assessment and consideration of an extraschedular evaluation.

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.
