Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for left leg radiculopathy and increased the rating for chronic sinusitis to 30 percent prior to March 16, 2022. The claims for increased ratings for knee and low back disorders were remanded.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's left lower extremity radiculopathy was found to be secondary to her service-connected low back disorder, while the chronic sinusitis warranted a higher rating based on more than six non-incapacitating episodes per year.
