Denied
The Board denied an evaluation greater than 20 percent for right hand carpal tunnel syndrome, as the evidence did not show severe incomplete paralysis of the median nerve.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's CTS was rated based on the degree of aggravation due to VA negligence and did not meet the criteria for a higher rating.
