I was recently rated and got an increase rating for Lower Back and Bilateral Lower Leg Radiculopathy from 10% to 20%. I have a couple questions that I hope you can help me with. The increased rating was based on Range of Motion, Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy of the lower extremities, and moderate sciatic nerve involvement
My C&P examination on 23 August 2013 indicated nerve roots involved (L4/L5/S1/S2/S3 nerve roots (Sciatic Nerve), Intervertebral Disc Syndrome (IVDS) of the thoracolumbar spine, reduced ROM, and the Veteran’s thoracolumbar spine condition impact his ability to work.
My question is, should Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy be rated with DMII or Lower Back condition? And should Sciatic Nerve have a separate rating.
