Partly granted
The Board granted an extraschedular rating of 10 percent for chronic right orchialgia and a separate disability rating of 10 percent for severe neuritis of the ilioinguinal nerve, while denying a compensable rating for chronic right orchialgia and special monthly compensation based on loss of use.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms more nearly approximated severe neuritis of the ilioinguinal nerve, which was not fully contemplated by the schedular criteria under Diagnostic Code 7523. The extraschedular rating accounts for additional impairment beyond that which is contemplated by the schedular rating.
