Partly granted
The Board granted a 20 percent rating for left and right lower extremity radiculopathy, but no higher. The Veteran's service-connected disabilities were also found to be sufficient to render him unemployable.
The deciding factor: The evidence showed moderate symptoms of the lower extremity radiculopathy during the appeal period, warranting a 20 percent rating under the applicable criteria.
