Denied
The Board denied entitlement to a rating in excess of 10 percent for left leg numbness associated with the sciatic nerve and right leg numbness associated with the sciatic nerve prior to March 1, 2019.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not demonstrate that the Veteran's symptoms warranted ratings greater than 10 percent under Diagnostic Code 8520 for either leg during the relevant period.
