Partly granted
The Board denied service connection for depressive disorder and left hip pain, but granted service connection for lumbar left lower extremity radiculopathy.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's depressive disorder was not related to his service-connected disabilities, and there was no evidence linking his left hip pain or LLE radiculopathy to a service-connected condition. However, the LLE radiculopathy was determined to be secondary to the Veteran's back disability.
