Granted
The Board granted earlier effective dates for the increased ratings of left and right cubital tunnel syndrome with ulnar nerve entrapment, elbow medial epicondylitis, and triceps tendinopathy with triceps spurs, as well as left and right sciatica and restless leg syndrome.
The deciding factor: The Board found that entitlement to the increased ratings arose on May 31, 2022, based on the Veteran's continuous pursuit of his claims and the evidence showing moderate incomplete paralysis for both upper and lower extremities.
