Quick question/validation on C&P and rating. I had a C&P in January that diagnosed my upper extremity radiculopathy as mild and affecting all 3 radicular groups and Ulnar nerve as incomplete paralysis mild right (dominant side), left side was diagnosed normal. The overall rating wound up at 20% Left and 20% Right side.
I just had a new C&P that diagnosed upper extremity radiculopathy as moderate and affecting left and right lower radicular group and Ulna nerve as incomplete paralysis moderate Left & Right sides
Question 1: Do they give a rating to both the diagnosis for 3 radicular groups and the Ulnar nerve damage or just one of those? They list it separately and 38CFR.
Question 2: If I am reading the rating properly then it should be something like this:

Hey Everyone,
Quick question/validation on C&P and rating. I had a C&P in January that diagnosed my upper extremity radiculopathy as mild and affecting all 3 radicular groups and Ulnar nerve as incomplete paralysis mild right (dominant side), left side was diagnosed normal. The overall rating wound up at 20% Left and 20% Right side.
I just had a new C&P that diagnosed upper extremity radiculopathy as moderate and affecting left and right lower radicular group and Ulna nerve as incomplete paralysis moderate Left & Right sides
Question 1: Do they give a rating to both the diagnosis for 3 radicular groups and the Ulnar nerve damage or just one of those? They list it separately and 38CFR.
Question 2: If I am reading the rating properly then it should be something like this:
- Radiculopathy Upper Extremity Right affecting lower radicular group, incomplete moderate paralysis (dominant hand) - 40%
- Radiculopathy Upper Extremity Left affecting all lower radicular group, incomplete moderate paralysis (non-dominant hand) - 30%
- Incomplete Moderate Paralysis of Ulnar Nerve dominant arm - 30%
- Incomplete Moderate Paralysis of Ulnar Nerve non-dominant arm - 20%
