Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for a back disability, right lower extremity radiculopathy, and right foot drop. The claim for urinary dysfunction was remanded.
The deciding factor: The private medical opinion supported the conclusion that the Veteran's current back disability is related to in-service injuries, including falling off a tanker truck, general wear-and-tear of service, and vibration injuries.
