Denied
The Board denied an increased rating for the veteran's lumbosacral strain with intervertebral disc syndrome, finding that the criteria for a higher rating were not met.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show that the veteran was prescribed bed rest by a physician for a duration meeting the criteria for a higher rating.
