Denied
The Board denied an initial rating in excess of 10 percent for impairment of each sciatic nerve, finding that the Veteran's sciatic nerve impairments are no worse than mild.
The deciding factor: The record does not suggest impairment more severe than mild due to normal motor strength, sensation, and reflexes on examination.
