Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's appeal for a rating in excess of 10 percent for right lower extremity radiculopathy, finding that the disability had improved to mild incomplete paralysis from January 11, 2022.
The deciding factor: The improvement in the Veteran's ability to function under ordinary conditions of life and work was sufficient to support a reduction in the rating from 20 percent to 10 percent effective January 11, 2022.
