The Board denied service connection for tingling in the hands and feet, as well as remanded an increased initial rating claim for a lumbar spine disability.
The deciding factor: The probative medical evidence demonstrated that the claimed disabilities of tingling in the hands and feet were caused by or secondary to non-service-connected cervical and lumbar spine disabilities, respectively. There was no competent evidence to support current disabilities of tingling in the feet associated with a service-connected lumbar spine disability.
