Partly granted
The veteran's claims for cervical strain, right shoulder acromioclavicular joint osteoarthritis, and left shoulder strain were denied. However, the veteran was granted service connection for lumbar spine degenerative disc disease with arthritis, spondylosis, and dextroscoliosis of the thoracic spine, as well as sciatic lumbar radiculopathy in the right lower extremity.
The deciding factor: The Board's decision was based on the evidence of record and medical opinions regarding the nexus between the veteran's conditions and service.
