Partly granted
The Board granted restoration of a 40 percent evaluation for left and right lower extremity radiculopathy, but denied an increase beyond that rating. The claims for asthma, dizziness, and DEA benefits were remanded.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a higher rating for the radiculopathy, but the recent worsening of symptoms warranted restoration of the previous ratings. The other claims required further development before decision.
