Partly granted
The Veteran's service-connected right sciatic nerve rating was restored to 20 percent. The claim for a compensable rating for right internal saphenous nerve radiculopathy was denied.
The deciding factor: The reduction of the Veteran's right sciatic nerve rating was improper because it did not follow required procedures and did not show improvement under ordinary conditions of life and work.
