Granted
The Veteran's claim for service connection for acute/sub-acute left leg arterial thrombosis and peripheral artery disease, claimed as deep vein thrombosis (DVT), has been granted. The Board found that these conditions are related to the Veteran's service-connected left lower extremity radiculopathy.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on a private medical opinion from Dr. D.K., which was considered highly probative and supported by thorough rationale and references to medical literature.
