Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for left lower extremity (LLE) lumbar radiculopathy and right lower extremity (RLE) lumbar radiculopathy, readjudicated the left elbow condition, and denied service connection for dry eye syndrome. Other claims were dismissed.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on new evidence regarding secondary service connection for a left elbow condition and medical evidence supporting direct service connection for LLE and RLE lumbar radiculopathy, as well as left knee degenerative arthritis.
