The Veteran was granted a 20 percent rating for right upper extremity CIDP prior to March 30, 2018, and a 40 percent rating from March 30, 2018, to October 27, 2018; however, the claim for a rating in excess of 40 percent was denied.
The deciding factor: The disability picture more nearly approximated moderate incomplete paralysis of the major extremity, warranting a 40 percent rating from March 30, 2018, to October 27, 2018; however, there was no evidence of severe or complete paralysis.
