Granted
The Veteran was granted an effective date of August 13, 2019 for the grant of service connection for associated lumbar radiculopathy, left lower extremity and a rating of 20 percent for associated lumbar radiculopathy, right lower extremity beginning on that date.
The deciding factor: The evidence of record persuasively shows that the RLE more nearly approximated mild incomplete paralysis for the period prior to August 13, 2019, and moderate incomplete paralysis since that date.
