The Board denied service connection for hypoglycemia and increased ratings for low back and right lower extremity disabilities. However, it granted a 20 percent rating for the low back disability before July 18, 2018.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the lack of evidence linking the Veteran's current hypoglycemia to service or any service-connected condition and the severity of her low back disability during the specified periods.
