Granted
The veteran's service connection for a back disability and radiculopathy in the left lower extremity was granted.
The deciding factor: The Board found that it is at least as likely as not (50 percent or more probability) that the Veteran's back disability was the result of her active service, based on evidence from service treatment records showing chronic lumbar facet syndrome.
