Partly granted
The Board granted a total disability rating based on individual unemployability due to service-connected disabilities beginning September 2, 2021, but denied increased ratings for the right elbow limited flexion and pronation/supination and a higher rating for the right radial nerve impairment.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the severity of the Veteran's right radial nerve impairment and his inability to secure or follow a substantially gainful occupation due to service-connected disabilities beginning September 2, 2021.
