The Board denied an increased disability rating higher than 20 percent for left lower extremity impairment and granted a 40 percent rating, but no higher, for right lower extremity impairment.

The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a finding of severe incomplete paralysis for the left lower extremity or moderately severe incomplete paralysis for the right lower extremity, thus the ratings were denied or granted accordingly.
