Partly granted
The Board denied increased ratings for left and right lower extremity sciatica but granted separate disability ratings for neuritis and neuralgia.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support moderate incomplete paralysis of the sciatic nerve, but supported bilateral lower extremity neuritis and neuralgia associated with the sciatica.
