Denied
The Board denied entitlement to an initial disability rating in excess of 10 percent, prior to May 10, 2021, and a disability rating in excess of 20 percent, effective from May 10, 2021, for peripheral neuropathy of the right lower extremity.
The deciding factor: The severity of the Veteran's RLE was found to be mild prior to May 10, 2021, and moderate as of that date, which did not meet the criteria for higher ratings under DC 8520.
