Partly granted
The Board granted a 50 percent rating for the Veteran's peripheral neuropathy with carpal tunnel syndrome of the right upper extremity and denied an increased rating in excess of 20 percent for the left upper extremity.
The deciding factor: The severity of the Veteran's symptoms, as reported by him and shown on examination, warranted a higher rating for the right upper extremity, but not for the left upper extremity.
