The Board granted service connection for a left lower extremity nerve condition, finding that it is aggravated by the Veteran's service-connected back disability.
The deciding factor: The evidence was found to be in equipoise as to whether the Veteran's current left lower extremity nerve condition is aggravated by his service-connected back disability, and all doubt was resolved in favor of the Veteran.
