Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for right lower extremity radiculopathy as secondary to the Veteran's service-connected DJD and DDD of the lumbar spine, effective November 13, 2025.
The deciding factor: Service connection was granted based on the evidence showing that the Veteran likely had nerve impairment in his right lower extremity secondary to his lumbar spine pathology, particularly when affording him the benefit of the doubt.
