Partly granted
The Board denied an initial rating in excess of 10 percent for left lower extremity sciatic nerve radiculopathy and a rating in excess of 20 percent for right lower extremity sciatic nerve radiculopathy. However, the Board granted a 20 percent rating for right lower extremity sciatic nerve radiculopathy beginning on March 19, 2020.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's left and right lower extremity sciatic nerve radiculopathy did not meet the criteria for ratings higher than those assigned. However, his condition warranted a 20 percent rating starting from March 19, 2020.
