Partly granted
The veteran is granted a 20% rating for right lower extremity radiculopathy. The issues of ratings in excess of 20 percent prior to June 4, 2020, for lumbar spondylosis with degenerative disc disease and right rotator cuff strain are remanded.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's symptoms warranted a 20% rating but not higher due to lack of evidence for more severe impairment.
