Denied
The Board denied a rating more than 40 percent for the Veteran's lumbar condition from September 21, 2009 to November 19, 2010.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show that the Veteran's lumbar symptoms more nearly approximated ankylosis or resulted in incapacitating episodes with a total duration of at least 6 weeks in a year during the appealed period.
