The Board granted a rating of 20 percent for left lower extremity sciatic nerve radiculopathy neuropathy but denied service connection for a left hip disability.

The deciding factor: The evidence supported moderate incomplete paralysis of the left lower extremity, warranting a 20 percent rating. However, there was no objective evidence of a current left hip condition to support service connection.
