The Board has determined that the Veteran's right lower extremity nerve condition is caused by his service-connected right testicle orchiodynia, and thus grants service connection for this condition.
The deciding factor: The evidence shows a current disability (right leg nerve pain) related to the service-connected right testicular injury, establishing secondary service connection.
