Granted
The Board granted service connection for sinusitis, right and left ankle disabilities, a low back disability, and radiculopathy of the lower extremities as secondary to the low back disability.
The deciding factor: The evidence was in equipoise regarding whether each condition manifested during service and was causally or etiologically related to an in-service event, injury, or illness, leading to the resolution of reasonable doubt in favor of the Veteran.
