Partly granted
The Board granted a 20 percent disability rating for radiculopathy of the right lower extremity, sciatic nerve but denied an initial compensable disability rating for right knee strain, limitation of extension.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the severity of the symptoms and their impact on the Veteran's ability to perform daily activities, as supported by medical evidence from a VA examination.
