Partly granted
The Board granted a 30 percent rating for migraine headaches and increased ratings for cervical spine degenerative arthritis, right lower radiculopathy of the sciatic nerve, left lower radiculopathy of the sciatic nerve, and sinusitis.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms have worsened over time, justifying a higher rating in some cases and maintaining the current rating in others.
