Granted
The Board granted a rating of 30 percent for left upper extremity radiculopathy and 40 percent for right upper extremity radiculopathy, finding the Veteran's symptoms approximate moderate level of impairment.
The deciding factor: The evidence supports that the Veteran experiences moderate paresthesias and numbness in his bilateral upper extremities, warranting a higher rating than previously assigned.
