Denied
The Board denied a compensable rating for right leg radiculopathy with impairment of the internal saphenous nerve, finding that the Veteran's symptoms are most analogous to moderate incomplete paralysis.
The deciding factor: The evidence does not support severe or complete paralysis of the internal saphenous nerve, and a separate or higher rating under a different Diagnostic Code is not warranted.
