Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claims for higher ratings for his service-connected left and right sciatica, finding that the evidence supported a rating of 10 percent but not more.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms were found to be mild incomplete paralysis of the sciatic nerve, which does not warrant a rating in excess of 10 percent under the applicable criteria.
