Denied
The Board denied an increased rating for left lower extremity sensory polyneuropathy with sciatica, finding that the Veteran's condition is manifested by moderate incomplete paralysis.
The deciding factor: The February 2021 VA examination findings and the Veteran's reported symptoms supported a moderate incomplete paralysis diagnosis, which does not warrant a rating higher than 20 percent under the applicable criteria.
