Granted
The Board granted a disability rating of 30 percent for left upper extremity idiopathic neuropathy, finding the Veteran's symptoms to be equivalent to moderate incomplete paralysis.
The deciding factor: The evidence established a high level of constant pain, plus symptoms of numbness and paresthesia/dysesthesia, but no motor or reflex impairments or trophic changes, warranting a 30 percent rating under DC 8513 for moderate incomplete paralysis.
