Partly granted
The Board granted an initial rating of 10 percent for hallux valgus of the right and left foot, effective November 30, 2004. The claim for a higher rating for left lower extremity radiculopathy was denied.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms were consistent with moderate incomplete paralysis of the sciatic nerve, which did not meet the criteria for a higher rating.
