Partly granted
The Board granted an initial rating of 20 percent for the left and right foot cold injuries but denied higher ratings for the left and right hand cold injuries.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms, including arthralgia, pain, numbness, and cold sensitivity, were found to be consistent with a 10 percent rating. Higher ratings required additional symptoms not present in this case.
