Granted
The Board granted service connection for a back disability, neck disability, right shoulder disability, and bilateral lower extremity radiculopathy as secondary to the service-connected disabilities.
The deciding factor: The evidence of record supports a finding that the Veteran's back, neck, and right shoulder conditions are directly related to active service, while the left and right lower extremity radiculopathies are caused by the service-connected back and neck disabilities.
