Granted
The Board granted an effective date of November 29, 2018, for left lower extremity radiculopathy and a rating of 40 percent from that date.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms more nearly approximated moderately severe incomplete paralysis of the left sciatic nerve, warranting a 40 percent rating, but no higher.
