The Board found that the Veteran's spondylolisthesis of L5-S1 did not warrant a rating in excess of 40 percent based on the evidence of record.
The deciding factor: The evidence showed complaints of pain, some limitation of motion, and radiation to the left lower extremity, but no findings indicative of unfavorable ankylosis or intervertebral disc syndrome with incapacitating episodes having a total duration of at least six weeks during the past 12 months.
