Granted
The Board granted service connection for left and right foot disabilities, left and right knee arthritis, and thoracolumbar spine with spondylosis, but denied lumbar radiculopathy.
The deciding factor: The evidence shows that the Veteran's diagnosed conditions are at least as likely as not etiologically related to his active-duty service including his service-connected right ankle disability.
