Partly granted
The Board granted a 40 percent disability rating for the left and right lower extremity sciatic peripheral neuropathy from April 19, 2022, but denied increased ratings for all other conditions.
The deciding factor: The evidence supported moderate incomplete paralysis of the sciatic nerve, warranting a 40 percent rating, while there was no support for higher ratings or service connection for the other conditions.
