Granted
The Board granted service connection for a low back disability and bilateral lower extremity radiculopathy, finding that the Veteran's current conditions are related to his Reserve service duties.
The deciding factor: The evidence supports that the Veteran's low back disability is attributable to cumulative physical strain during Reserve service, and that his bilateral lower extremity radiculopathy is secondary to this condition.
