Partly granted
The Veteran's right lower extremity radiculopathy is rated at 20 percent effective October 31, 2014, and a TDIU was granted for the same date.
The deciding factor: The severity of the Veteran's right lower extremity radiculopathy approximates moderate incomplete paralysis, warranting a 20 percent rating. The evidence also shows that his service-connected disabilities prevent him from securing and following a substantially gainful occupation.
