Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the issues of an evaluation higher than 20 percent for right lower extremity radiculopathy and an evaluation higher than 10 percent for left lower extremity radiculopathy to ensure compliance with a previous remand.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary due to concerns regarding the competency of the VA examiner who conducted the November 2022 examination, as the Veteran has challenged their qualifications and requested more detailed information about their credentials.
