Denied
The Board denied separate compensable ratings for left and right lower extremity disabilities as well as left and right upper extremity disabilities from September 11, 2008, to March 7, 2018.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support the presence of any manifestations of radiculopathy, neuritis, or neuralgia in the lower and upper extremities that were separate and distinct from those already rated under cervical spine and lumbar radiculopathy ratings.
