Denied
The Board denied service connection for left upper extremity radiculopathy, and remanded claims for service connection for a left wrist disability, erectile dysfunction, tension headaches, a left shoulder disability, and left lateral collateral ligament sprain (left ankle disability).
The deciding factor: The evidence of record did not persuasively weigh in favor of finding that the Veteran had left upper extremity radiculopathy at any time during or approximate to the pendency of the claim.
