Partly granted
The Veteran's asthma was granted a 100 percent rating prior to May 8, 2024, and the ratings for left and right lower extremity radiculopathy were increased from 10 percent to 20 percent.
The deciding factor: The FEV-1/FVC ratio met the criteria for a 100 percent rating before May 8, 2024, while post-May 8, 2024, evidence did not support a higher rating. The radiculopathy was rated based on moderate incomplete paralysis.
