no to all questions except to the rating table in the soc it stated that a 20% rating had the same criateria as 10% rating

an evaluation of10% is assigned for incomplete paraiysis of finger and wrist movement, which is mild.

a higher evaluation of 20% is not warranted unless ther is evidence incomplete paralysis of finger and wrist movement, which is moderate.

to me it is severe so i guess it depends on who is having the pain

thanks for your help
