Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claims for an earlier effective date and initial ratings in excess of 20 percent for sciatic neuropathy, left and right lower extremities.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a finding that the Veteran's sciatic neuropathy warranted a higher rating or an earlier effective date than May 2, 2018.
