The Board granted service connection for lumbar radiculopathy of the left and right lower extremities, as well as female sexual arousal disorder, all to include as secondary to a service-connected condition.
The deciding factor: The evidence supports that the Veteran's lumbar radiculopathy had its onset during active service, and there is at least an approximate balance of evidence supporting a medical nexus between her female sexual arousal disorder and her service-connected psychiatric disability.
