Partly granted
The Board granted a 10 percent rating for left hip strain but denied an evaluation in excess of 10 percent for the right lower nerve extremity condition with sciatic nerve involvement.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's left hip strain symptomology was best approximated by musculoskeletal pain, while her right lower nerve extremity condition with sciatic nerve involvement was best approximated by mild incomplete paralysis of the sciatic nerve.
