The Board granted service connection for a lumbar spine disability with radiculopathy of the bilateral lower extremities, a cervical spine disability with radiculopathy of the left upper extremity, and migraine headaches, all to include as secondary to the Veteran's service-connected conditions. The claims for a left shoulder disability, right knee disability, and right hip disability were denied.

The deciding factor: The evidence supported the finding that the Veteran's lumbar spine, cervical spine, and migraine headache disabilities were due to his active-duty service or secondary to his service-connected conditions, while there was no current diagnosis of the claimed left shoulder, right knee, and right hip disabilities.
