Partly granted
The Board denied the veteran's claims for increased ratings for pseudofolliculitis barbae, right hand and wrist scars, and right wrist fracture residuals with tendinitis. The claims for a compensable rating for right small finger fracture residuals and higher than 10 percent rating for right wrist fracture residuals were remanded.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support the assignment of a compensable rating under the applicable diagnostic codes due to the severity or extent of the conditions, and new examinations were required for the remanded claims.
