Partly granted
The Board denied an increased rating higher than 40 percent for the Veteran's low back disability but granted a 20 percent rating for right and left lower extremity radiculopathy before August 1, 2024.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support signs or symptoms of moderate severe incomplete paralysis required for a higher rating in any period.
