Partly granted
The Board granted a 20 percent disability evaluation for the Veteran's low back disability and denied an increased rating for the right wrist disability.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the presence of mild kyphosis in the low back, which warranted a higher rating, while there was no evidence of ankylosis or other factors that would support a higher rating for the right wrist.
