Granted
The Board granted a 30 percent disability rating for right and left foot peripheral neuropathy, effective July 1, 2015, as well as a total rating based on individual unemployability from the same date.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms of severe incomplete paralysis of the external popliteal (common peroneal) nerve warranted a higher rating than previously assigned, and his service-connected disabilities precluded substantially gainful employment.
