The Board denied the veteran's claims for service connection for left and right lower extremity lumbar radiculopathy, finding that the evidence does not support a direct relationship between these conditions and his military service.

The deciding factor: The evidence of record did not persuasively establish that the Veteran's bilateral lower extremity radiculopathy began during active service or was otherwise related to an in-service injury or disease.
