Granted
The Board granted a rating of 40 percent for left and right lower extremity peripheral neuropathy, as well as a total disability rating based upon individual unemployability (TDIU).
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms more closely approximate complete paralysis, warranting the maximum 40 percent rating. Additionally, he has met his burden in establishing an inability to obtain and maintain substantially gainful employment due to his service-connected disabilities.
