Partly granted
The veteran's claims for compensable evaluations for left hand tendinopathy and limitation of motion of the little and ring fingers were denied. The claim for a total disability rating due to individual unemployability (TDIU) was remanded.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the criteria for a compensable evaluation were not met based on the medical evidence and diagnostic codes.
