Partly granted
The Veteran was granted increased ratings for right carpal tunnel syndrome and left ankle disability, but the rating for his psychiatric disability was denied.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a higher rating for any of the conditions due to the severity of symptoms being more closely aligned with the current assigned ratings.
