Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for restless leg syndrome and assigned a 100% rating, while denying service connection for numbness of the right buttock. The Board also denied increased ratings for cervical strain, left wrist pain, and right wrist pain, but granted an initial 40% rating for radiculopathy of the right upper extremity, including carpal tunnel syndrome, as well as initial 10% ratings for GERD, C-section abdominal scar, and hypothyroidism.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the evidence was in approximate balance regarding the Veteran's restless leg syndrome claim, thus granting service connection. However, there was no current diagnosis of right buttock numbness to support a grant of service connection for this condition.
