Partly granted
The Board granted an evaluation of 20 percent for left lower extremity radiculopathy and denied an evaluation in excess of 10 percent for left knee strain, limited ability with flexion.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms were found to be consistent with moderate incomplete paralysis of the sciatic nerve, but not moderately severe. The evidence did not support a higher rating for the left knee condition.
