Granted
The Board granted an initial rating of 20 percent for left lower extremity radiculopathy, sciatic nerve, resolving reasonable doubt in the Veteran's favor.
The deciding factor: The evidence showed symptoms that were moderate or tended toward the mean amount, warranting a higher initial disability rating than the initially assigned 10 percent.
