Granted
The Board granted service connection for a low back disorder, radiculopathy of the left lower extremity on a secondary basis, and radiculopathy of the right lower extremity on a secondary basis.
The deciding factor: The weight of the evidence supports that the Veteran's current back disability had onset in service and continued since his separation from service. The evidence also suggests that the Veteran's radiculopathy of the left and right lower extremities is related to his low back condition.
