Granted
The Board granted service connection for left and right lower extremity peripheral neuropathy, finding that it is at least as likely as not related to the Veteran's service-connected lumbar spine disability.
The deciding factor: The VA examiners' opinions, along with the evidence of record, supported a finding that the Veteran's bilateral lower extremity peripheral neuropathy was proximately due to his service-connected lumbar spine disability.
