Partly granted
The veteran's claim for a higher rating for diabetes mellitus, type II was denied. Claims for higher ratings for low back disability, right lower extremity radiculopathy, surgical scars, and left lower extremity radiculopathy were remanded.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the evidence did not support a rating in excess of 20 percent for diabetes mellitus, type II, but remanded other claims due to pre-decisional duty to assist errors.
