Partly granted
The veteran's claim for a higher rating for right hand carpel tunnel syndrome was granted at 30%, but the claim for total disability based on individual unemployability (TDIU) was denied.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the severity of the Veteran's right hand CTS, which was evaluated as moderate incomplete paralysis of the median nerve.
