Partly granted
The Board granted initial disability ratings of 20 percent for peripheral neuropathy of the right and left lower extremities, but denied a compensable rating for erectile dysfunction.
The deciding factor: Based on the evidence, the Veteran's symptoms were found to be moderate incomplete paralysis of the sciatic nerve in both legs, which is best described as 'moderate' under Diagnostic Code 8520.
