Denied
The Board denied service connection for a low back disability, left and right lower extremity radiculopathy, and left knee arthritis. The issue of entitlement to service connection for left knee osteochondroma was remanded.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a link between the Veteran's claimed disabilities and his military service or any service-connected disability.
