Partly granted
The Board granted a rating of 20 percent for paresthesia in the left upper extremity and 30 percent for paresthesia in the right upper extremity, but denied an increased rating for allergic rhinitis.
The deciding factor: The medical evidence supported moderate incomplete paralysis of the median nerve for both upper extremities, warranting higher ratings, while there was no evidence supporting a higher rating for allergic rhinitis.
