The Board denied a disability rating in excess of 10 percent for right wrist strain and remanded the claims for increased ratings for incomplete paralysis of the left and right sciatic nerves.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a higher rating for the right wrist strain, as it was already rated at the maximum schedular level. The Board found that additional examinations were necessary to properly evaluate the sciatic nerve conditions.
