The Veteran's claims for bilateral knee, foot, and radiculopathy of the right lower extremity disabilities were not addressed in this decision. The low back disability claim was denied for increased evaluations prior to September 10, 2007, and from that date onwards.
The deciding factor: The Board found no evidence of a current bilateral knee or foot condition due to service or service-connected conditions. For the radiculopathy claim, the Board determined there was sufficient medical evidence linking it to her low back disability.
