Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claims for increased ratings for bilateral lower extremity peripheral neuropathy and granted a total disability rating based on individual unemployability due to service-connected disabilities.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a finding of moderately severe incomplete paralysis of the sciatic nerve, which would be required for a higher rating. The Veteran's symptoms were primarily sensory in nature with no significant motor or reflex impairment.
