Partly granted
The Board granted an effective date of February 9, 2022, for the award of service connection for left lower extremity radiculopathy and denied a rating in excess of 10 percent for the same condition.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms were found to be mild, warranting only a 10% rating under DC 8520. The effective date was granted based on the first diagnosis of left lower extremity radiculopathy.
