Granted
The Board granted an increased disability rating of 30 percent, but not higher, for the Veteran's service-connected left ulnar disability.
The deciding factor: The evidence showed severe incomplete paralysis of the ulnar nerve with significant sensory changes and motor impairment, warranting a 30 percent rating under DC 8516.
