Partly granted
The Board granted a 40 percent rating for right upper extremity polyneuropathy, a 30 percent rating for left upper extremity polyneuropathy, and a 40 percent rating for both right lower extremity and left lower extremity polyneuropathy. Special monthly compensation was denied.
The deciding factor: The severity of the Veteran's symptoms, including pain, numbness, and decreased sensation, warranted higher ratings than those previously assigned but not the maximum available under the applicable diagnostic codes.
