Granted
The Board granted a 60 percent rating for the Veteran's right and left lower extremity radiculopathy, finding that the disability picture more nearly approximates severe incomplete paralysis of the sciatic nerve.
The deciding factor: The evidence showed symptoms consistent with no more than severe incomplete paralysis of the sciatic nerve, warranting a 60 percent rating under DC 8520.
