Partly granted
The Board granted a 40 percent rating for the left hand tremor from June 19, 2014 and denied a rating in excess of 50 percent for the right hand tremor for the entire appeal period.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms more nearly approximated severe incomplete paralysis of the radial nerve, warranting a higher 40 percent rating from June 19, 2014. However, there was no evidence showing complete paralysis in either hand to support a higher rating.
