Partly granted
The Board denied higher ratings for diabetic paralysis of the sciatic nerve, right and left, but granted earlier effective dates for service connection. The Board also remanded an issue regarding a total disability rating based on individual unemployability.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support moderate incomplete paralysis for either sciatic nerve condition, thus denying higher ratings; however, the evidence reasonably raised entitlement to service connection as part and parcel of the diabetes mellitus claim.
