Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claims for a higher disability rating for his right wrist disability, a compensable rating for his right wrist scar, and a temporary total disability rating for convalescence following surgery.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a finding of more severe impairment than that already reflected in the current ratings.
