Denied
The Board denied higher ratings for the service-connected peripheral neuropathy of the upper and lower extremities both prior to and from May 25, 1999.
The deciding factor: The weight of the available evidence was persuasively against the Veteran's service-connected conditions being manifested by at least moderate incomplete paralysis or severe incomplete paralysis as required for higher ratings under the applicable diagnostic codes.
