Partly granted
The Board granted increased ratings for the Veteran's degenerative disc disease with spondylosis and sciatic/peroneal nerve radiculopathy, but denied increased ratings for femoral nerve radiculopathy and special monthly compensation.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the severity of the Veteran's symptoms as documented in multiple VA examinations over the period of appeal.
