Partly granted
The Board denied an increased rating for lumbosacral strain but granted separate ratings of 10 percent each for right and left lower extremity neuropathy of the anterior tibial nerve.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a higher rating for lumbosacral strain, but it supported moderate incomplete paralysis in both lower extremities, warranting separate 10 percent ratings.
