Partly granted
The Veteran's left lower extremity (LLE) radiculopathy was granted a rating of 40 percent, but no higher, from January 8, 2020, onwards.
The deciding factor: The evidence showed that the Veteran's symptoms more nearly approximated moderately severe paralysis of the sciatic nerve as of January 8, 2020, warranting a 40 percent rating under DC 8520.
