Denied
The Board denied service connection for left and right lower extremity neurologic disabilities, to include radiculopathy and restless leg syndrome, as well as an initial rating in excess of 70 percent for a psychiatric disability with residuals of traumatic brain injury.
The deciding factor: The weight of the evidence did not support a finding that the Veteran had a current left or right lower extremity neurologic disability during the appeal period, and the reports of radicular symptoms were inconsistent and not credible.
