Remanded (sent back)
The Board restored the 30 percent disability rating for a right elbow disability effective December 15, 2022, as the reduction was improper.
The deciding factor: The reduction in rating from 30 percent to 0 percent failed to comply with applicable law and regulations due to insufficient evidence of improvement that reflected an actual enhancement in the Veteran's ability to function under ordinary conditions of life and work.
