Partly granted
The veteran's claim for service connection for hypertension and various types of neuropathy was denied. However, the veteran was granted service connection for right lower extremity radiculopathy as secondary to a service-connected lumbosacral strain.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the most persuasive evidence did not support service connection for hypertension or the other conditions except RLE radiculopathy
