The Board denied a rating in excess of 40 percent for post traumatic neuroma of radial nerve branch with median nerve neuropathy, right upper extremity and remanded the claim for service connection for a left upper extremity peripheral nerve condition.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's disability manifested as moderate incomplete paralysis, which warranted a 40 percent rating but not more. The Board found insufficient evidence to support service connection for the left upper extremity condition.
