Partly granted
The Board granted an 80 percent rating for the service-connected left sciatic nerve from July 7, 2022 onward and a 10 percent rating for the left external cutaneous nerve from the same date. The other claims were denied.
The deciding factor: The evidence showed severe symptoms comparable to complete paralysis of the left sciatic nerve and moderate incomplete paralysis of the left femoral and internal saphenous nerves, warranting higher ratings than previously assigned.
