Partly granted
The Veteran's right lower extremity radiculopathy was associated with his low back condition from the time of filing a claim in January 2018, and he is granted an earlier effective date for service connection. For the period from January 19, 2018 to January 16, 2024, a disability rating of 10 percent was assigned.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's right lower extremity radiculopathy existed at the time he submitted his claim for a low back disability and granted an earlier effective date. For the period from January 19, 2018 to January 16, 2024, the evidence supported a rating of 10 percent.
