The deciding factor: A VHA expert concluded it was at least as likely as not that the Veteran's right superficial peroneal neuropathy was incurred in service and is connected to service.

- Denied
The Board has denied the Veteran's claims for service connection for low back disability, right peroneal neuropathy, right foot drop, and radiculopathy of the right lower extremity as these conditions are not linked to active service.
- Granted
The Veteran's lumbar spine disability is rated at 40 percent disabling since September 27, 2007. The Board finds that the criteria for a higher rating are not met and thus denies an increased rating. The Veteran's TDIU claim is granted.
- Partly granted

- Denied
The Veteran's VA disability compensation awarded after September 15, 1981 is subject to recoupment of severance pay.
