Partly granted
The Board granted a 40 percent disability rating for radiculopathy, right lower extremity (RLE), sciatic nerve, and remanded the claim for service connection for a left shoulder condition.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's RLE sciatic radiculopathy was found to be moderately severe with intermittent pain, paresthesias, and numbness. The Board determined that a 40 percent rating is warranted based on this severity.
