The Board has determined that the Veteran's cerebral amyloid angiopathy was aggravated by his service-connected lumbar back strain, residuals of right hallux valgus, chondromalacia patella of the left and right knees, and left bunion deformity status post bunionectomy with arthritis of the left foot. As a result, the claim for service connection is granted.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's cerebral amyloid angiopathy was aggravated by his service-connected lumbar back strain, residuals of right hallux valgus, chondromalacia patella of the left and right knees, and left bunion deformity status post bunionectomy with arthritis of the left foot.
