Denied
The Board denied a higher rating for the veteran's right hand peripheral neuropathy, ulnar nerve, finding that the condition manifested as mild incomplete paralysis.
The deciding factor: The most persuasive evidence showed mild incomplete paralysis, which warrants only a 10 percent rating under DC 8516.
