Partly granted
The Board dismissed the claims for service connection for right and left lower extremity, lumbar radiculopathy as they were already granted. The claims for service connection for a right hip disorder, left hip disorder, right elbow disorder, left elbow disorder, and cervical spine disorder are remanded for further development.
The deciding factor: The claims for service connection for the right and left lower extremity, lumbar radiculopathy were dismissed as they had already been granted. The remaining claims were remanded due to incomplete service treatment records and a need for additional medical opinions that consider lay statements and new evidence.
