Denied
The Board denied a rating higher than 10 percent for right lower extremity (RLE) sciatic nerve paralysis (RLE radiculopathy) from November 20, 2020.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support findings of moderate incomplete paralysis, neuralgia, or neuritis of the right sciatic nerve, as symptoms were described to be no more than mild and there was no organic change in muscle strength, reflexes, or sensation.
