Partly granted
The Board granted an initial rating of 20 percent for right lower extremity radiculopathy but denied a higher rating for the lumbar spine condition and remanded service connection for knee condition.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's right femoral nerve has moderate incomplete paralysis, while his lumbar spine condition does not meet the criteria for an increased rating.
