Granted
The Board granted service connection for lumbosacral strain with left side radiculopathy, resolving reasonable doubt in the Veteran's favor.
The deciding factor: The evidence is at least evenly balanced as to whether the Veteran's current lumbar strain began in service, and therefore service connection is warranted.
