Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claims for increased ratings for various disabilities, including left foot disorder, chronic left wrist sprain, and other hand injuries, finding that the evidence did not support higher ratings.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show symptoms severe enough to warrant a higher rating under applicable diagnostic codes.
