Granted
The Board granted a rating of 20 percent for both the right and left lower extremity radiculopathy, sciatic nerve, as the Veteran's conditions were found to be moderate incomplete paralysis.
The deciding factor: The June 2024 VA examination concluded that the Veteran experiences radiculopathy resulting in incomplete paralysis of moderate severity of both the RLE and LLE, warranting a 20 percent disability rating for both.
