Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claims for increased ratings for lumbosacral strain with degenerative arthritis and intervertebral disc syndrome, radiculopathy of the left and right lower extremities, and tension headaches (including migraine headaches).
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a higher rating as it did not meet the criteria for more severe disability under applicable regulations.
