Granted
The Board granted the restoration of a 30 percent disability rating for left hand, third finger DIP, radiculopathy effective December 1, 2020.
The deciding factor: The reduction was improper as it was not based upon a complete review of the record and did not consider evidence submitted by the Veteran in the 60-day window following the proposed reduction.
