The Board denied a rating in excess of 10 percent for the Veteran's service-connected LLE internal saphenous nerve disability, as it was found to most closely approximate complete paralysis and is rated at the maximum schedular rating permitted.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a finding that the Veteran's condition warranted a higher rating than the 10 percent already assigned under Diagnostic Code 8527 for incomplete paralysis of the internal saphenous nerve, as it was found to most closely approximate complete paralysis and is rated at the maximum schedular rating permitted.
