Denied
The Board denied an initial rating in excess of 10 percent for the Veteran's lower left nerve conditions, finding that the evidence did not support a higher rating.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner noted mild incomplete paralysis and there was no evidence of atrophy, trophic changes, sensory changes, reflex or motor changes, or complete paralysis.
