Partly granted
The Board granted a separate disability rating of 10 percent for sciatic neuritis and 20 percent for sciatic neuralgia, but denied an increased initial disability rating in excess of 10 percent for incomplete paralysis.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms were assessed as mild incomplete paralysis, neuritis, and neuralgia, warranting separate ratings under the applicable criteria.
