Denied
The Board denied entitlement to increased ratings for the Veteran's right and left lower extremity, as well as right and left upper extremity radiculopathy.
The deciding factor: The severity of the Veteran's radiculopathy was found to be moderate incomplete paralysis in both lower and upper extremities, which did not meet the criteria for higher ratings.
