Partly granted
The Board denied increased ratings for the Veteran's back disability, radiculopathy of both lower extremities, limitation of pronation and flexion of the right elbow, and scarring, but granted a 40 percent rating from March 26, 2024 to September 17, 2024.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's back disability did not meet the criteria for an increased rating prior to March 26, 2024 and from September 18, 2024. However, a 40 percent rating was granted from March 26, 2024 to September 17, 2024 due to limited flexion.
