Partly granted
The Board granted an effective date of February 6, 2023 for left lower extremity radiculopathy but denied the same for right lower extremity radiculopathy. The increased rating claims for all conditions were remanded.
The deciding factor: The entitlement arose prior to the claim filing date due to ongoing symptoms, but the effective date was set as the date of the claim for legal reasons.
