Partly granted
The Board denied a rating in excess of 10 percent for right lower extremity radiculopathy and remanded claims for service connection for left ankle, right ankle, left knee, and right knee disorders.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a rating in excess of 10 percent for the Veteran's right lower extremity radiculopathy as it was found to be mild incomplete paralysis. The claims for service connection were remanded due to insufficient medical opinions regarding aggravation by a service-connected condition.
