Partly granted
The veteran's increased rating for right and left lower extremity radiculopathy was granted at 20 percent. The claim for a compensable rating for restless leg syndrome was denied.
The deciding factor: The Board found the Veteran's symptoms aligned with moderate incomplete paralysis, warranting a 20 percent disability rating for both conditions.
