Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's appeal for a rating in excess of 30 percent for left upper extremity radiculopathy with C5/C6/C7 nerve involvement, as the evidence did not show severe incomplete paralysis.
The deciding factor: The evidence showed mild to moderate incomplete paralysis, which supported the current 30 percent rating but did not warrant a higher rating.
