Partly granted
The Board denied an initial rating higher than 10 percent for the service-connected right leg radiculopathy prior to October 6, 2023, but granted a 20 percent rating from October 6, 2023 onward.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms were found to be mild and intermittent prior to October 6, 2023, while they became moderate and more frequent thereafter, warranting the higher rating.
