Granted
The Board granted service connection for a lumbosacral strain and radiculopathy of the left and right lower extremities, finding that these conditions are related to an in-service fall.
The deciding factor: The evidence supports a causal relationship between the Veteran's current back condition and his 2019 in-service fall, as well as a direct causation for the bilateral radiculopathy from the lumbosacral strain.
