Denied
The Board denied a rating in excess of 100 percent for ankylosing spondylitis affecting the right and left elbows as of September 19, 2014.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a higher rating due to the Veteran's current 100 percent rating which is the maximum schedular rating available.
