Partly granted
The veteran's claim for service connection for right lower extremity radiculopathy secondary to low back disability was granted. The claims for higher ratings for left shoulder and lumbar spine disabilities were remanded.
The deciding factor: The evidence was found to be in equipoise regarding the veteran's right lower extremity radiculopathy, leading to a grant of service connection.
