Denied
The Board denied a rating higher than 10 percent for left lower extremity radiculopathy as the evidence showed mild intermittent pain, mild paresthesias and/or dysesthesias, and mild numbness.
The deciding factor: The severity of the Veteran's condition was not consistent with moderate incomplete paralysis or any higher rating level based on the medical evidence of record.
