Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for an initial disability rating greater than 10 percent for radiculopathy of the right and left lower extremities, sciatic nerve, to obtain a new VA examination to assess the current severity of the Veteran's conditions.
The deciding factor: Remand is warranted due to the Veteran's assertions that his condition has worsened since the last examination in August 2020.
