The Board has granted service connection for a lumbar spine disability with radiculopathy, but denied service connection for hypoglycemia as it is not a compensable condition.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's lumbar spine disability with radiculopathy was found to be etiologically related to his active service. Hypoglycemia, while diagnosed, is not a compensable disability under VA regulations.
