Denied
Service connection for right and left lower extremity radiculopathy was denied on all bases. The Board found no evidence of in-service neurological injury, disease, or event, and the symptoms were not chronic during service.
The deciding factor: The absence of in-service incurrence and lack of continuous symptoms since separation from service led to the denial.
