Granted
The Board granted a 50 percent rating for right carpal tunnel syndrome and service connection for chronic elbow pain/arm pain/hand pain as secondary to the service-connected right carpal tunnel syndrome.
The deciding factor: The evidence supported severe incomplete paralysis of the median nerve, warranting a 50 percent rating. Additionally, the Veteran's chronic elbow pain/arm pain/hand pain was found to be directly related to his service-connected right carpal tunnel syndrome.
