Granted
The Board granted service connection for a lumbar spine condition, right lower extremity radiculopathy of the sciatic nerve, and left lower extremity radiculopathy of the sciatic nerve.
The deciding factor: The probative evidence weighed in favor of a finding that the Veteran's lumbar spine degenerative arthritis began in or is related to service. The evidence was in equipoise regarding whether the right and left lower extremity radiculopathies were secondary to the lumbar spine condition.
