Granted
The Board granted service connection for lumbar spine arthritis and bilateral lower extremity radiculopathy as secondary to the now service-connected lumbar spine arthritis.
The deciding factor: The evidence, including credible lay statements and a private medical opinion, supports a finding that the Veteran's current conditions are related to his in-service duties.
