Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claim for a higher disability rating for painful motion of the left-hand ring and little fingers due to tenosynovitis. The conditions were rated as noncompensable.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show that the Veteran's pain significantly limited functional ability during flare-ups or after repeated use over time.
