The Board granted service connection for radiculopathy of the right lower extremity as secondary to a service-connected back disability, but denied service connection for left and right hip disabilities.
The deciding factor: The evidence supported that the Veteran's right lower extremity radiculopathy was due to his service-connected back disability, while there was no credible evidence supporting current bilateral hip disabilities.
