Partly granted
The veteran's claims for a 20% disability rating for right and left lower extremity radiculopathy were granted. Other issues, including higher ratings and TDIU, were remanded.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the veteran's bilateral lower extremity radiculopathy warranted a 20 percent rating throughout the entire period on appeal based on moderate incomplete paralysis of the sciatic nerve.
