The Board granted service connection for left lower extremity neuropathy and remanded the claim for a cervical spine disorder due to outstanding medical records.
The deciding factor: The evidence is in approximate balance as to whether the Veteran's left lower extremity neuropathy was caused by his service-connected lumbar strain with muscle hypertonia and left foot fracture, thus granting service connection on a direct basis.
