Denied
The Board denied the claim for a compensable rating for left triceps tear without residuals, finding that the evidence did not support a moderate or greater severity of the muscle injury.
The deciding factor: The medical examination and evidence showed only slight disability of the muscles, which does not warrant a compensable rating under the applicable diagnostic codes.
