Granted
The Board granted an initial 20 percent rating for left lower extremity radiculopathy, finding that the Veteran's symptoms more nearly approximated moderate incomplete paralysis of the sciatic nerve.
The deciding factor: Based on the evidence of record, the disability picture most closely approximates at most moderate (or average in amount) severity in the left lower extremity throughout the entire appeal period.
