Granted
The Board granted service connection for lumbar spine disability, left lower extremity (LLE) radiculopathy, and right lower extremity (RLE) radiculopathy as secondary to the service-connected lumbar spine disability.
The deciding factor: The evidence supported a causal relationship between the Veteran's lumbar spine disability and his active-duty service, and between the LLE and RLE radiculopathies and the service-connected lumbar spine disability.
