Denied
The Veteran's appeal for a higher rating for right upper extremity radiculopathy associated with cervical spine disability was denied because the evidence showed no more than mild incomplete paralysis.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the symptoms of the Veteran's condition, including intermittent pain and mild numbness, did not meet the criteria for moderate or severe incomplete paralysis required for a higher rating.
