Partly granted
The Board granted a 40 percent rating for the right ulna disability from October 30, 2013 to May 29, 2015 and denied increased ratings for other conditions.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms of loss of power, weakness, and lowered threshold of fatigue were consistent with a severe muscle injury, warranting the highest available rating under DC 5307.
