Partly granted
The Board granted an initial 50 percent rating for right carpal tunnel disability and a 10 percent rating for facial acne, while remanding the claims for increased ratings for left and right shin splints.
The deciding factor: The severity of the Veteran's right carpal tunnel disability more closely approximated severe incomplete paralysis throughout the pendency of the appeal. The severity of her facial acne was shown to warrant a 10 percent rating under DC 7828, as it affected less than 40% of the face and neck.
