Granted
The Board restored the 40 percent rating for left lower extremity sciatic nerve radiculopathy, effective May 27, 2025, as the reduction was improper due to a lack of sustained improvement.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not establish any sustained improvement in the service-connected condition that would warrant a reduction in the rating.
