Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claims for increased ratings for left elbow lateral and medial epicondylitis, left forearm impairment of pronation, and bilateral hearing loss.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not meet the criteria for higher ratings under applicable diagnostic codes due to limited flexion and extension in the left elbow and pronation limitation in the left forearm, as well as non-compensable levels of hearing loss.
