Denied
The Board denied increased ratings for the Veteran's service-connected right forearm conditions, finding that the current 10 percent ratings were appropriate based on painful motion and limitation of flexion and pronation.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support higher ratings as the Veteran's limitations in flexion, extension, supination, and pronation did not meet the criteria for increased ratings under applicable diagnostic codes.
