Granted
The Board granted an increased rating of 20 percent for left ulnar neuropathy, finding that the Veteran's condition more nearly approximated moderate incomplete paralysis.
The deciding factor: The May 2023 VA examination and the Veteran's reports indicated moderate intermittent pain, paresthesias, numbness, and decreased sensation to light touch in the left hand/fingers, which supported a rating of moderate incomplete paralysis.
