Partly granted
The Board granted an increased rating of 40 percent for the Veteran's radiculopathy of the left lower extremity and denied a rating in excess of 20 percent for the right lower extremity.
The deciding factor: The severity of the Veteran's left lower extremity radiculopathy more closely approximated moderately severe symptomatology, while his right lower extremity radiculopathy did not meet the criteria for an increased rating.
