Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claims for an earlier effective date for the award of a 40 percent disability evaluation for right and left lower extremity radiculopathy of the sciatic nerve.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show that entitlement to increased disability evaluations arose prior to December 30, 2021, as required by law.
