The Board granted an initial 20 percent rating prior to September 17, 2020, and a 40 percent rating from September 17, 2020, for the Veteran's left lower extremity radiculopathy.

The deciding factor: The evidence of record persuaded that an initial 20 percent rating, but no higher, prior to September 17, 2020, and 40 percent thereafter for left lower extremity radiculopathy is warranted, based on the Veteran's reported symptoms and credible testimony.
