Partly granted
The Board denied service connection for left and right hip disabilities, but granted a disability rating of 20 percent for the Veteran's service-connected left lower extremity radiculopathy.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show that the Veteran had current left or right hip disabilities close to or during the period on review. The Board found moderate incomplete paralysis of the femoral nerve in the left lower extremity, warranting a 20 percent rating.
