Granted
The Board granted service connection for lumbar spine degenerative disc disease and right lower extremity radiculopathy, but remanded the claim for left lower extremity radiculopathy due to a duty to assist error.
The deciding factor: The evidence supports a direct link between the Veteran's current conditions and his in-service back injury.
