Granted
The Board granted a rating of 40 percent for both the left and right lower extremity diabetic neuropathy of the sciatic nerve, as well as a total disability rating based on individual unemployability.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's service-connected disabilities have rendered him unable to secure or follow a substantially gainful occupation, and his symptoms were found to be moderately severe incomplete paralysis of the sciatic nerve in both extremities.
