Partly granted
The Board granted an initial rating of 20 percent for right lower extremity (RLE) radiculopathy but remanded the back disability claim for further development.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's RLE radiculopathy was found to be moderate, warranting a 20 percent rating. The back disability claim was remanded due to insufficient evidence regarding functional ankylosis during flare-ups.
