Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for right and left cervical radiculopathy as secondary to the Veteran's back disability, but remanded claims for cervical strain and left knee strain.
The deciding factor: The June 2022 VA examiner opined that the Veteran's cervical radiculopathy is at least as likely as not due to his service-connected lumbar strain. The opinions for the cervical strain and left knee strain were found inadequate, necessitating remand.
