Granted
The veteran's claim for service connection for left and right lower extremity radicular pain has been granted. The Board found that the Veteran's radicular pain is etiologically linked to her service-connected degenerative arthritis of the spine.
The deciding factor: The Board found a current disability based on the Veteran's reports of persistent radicular pain and functional loss, and established a nexus between the Veteran's bilateral lower extremity disabilities and her service-connected lumbar spine disability.
