Partly granted
The Board granted an initial 20 percent rating for sciatic radiculopathy of the left lower extremity and a total disability rating due to individual unemployability prior to April 29, 2019.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms most closely approximated moderate incomplete paralysis, warranting a 20 percent rating. The evidence also supported TDIU for the specified period.
