Denied
The Board denied service connection for radiculopathy of the left lower extremity, post traumatic pain cervical cervicothoracic regions, and residuals of traumatic brain injury. The initial ratings for various service-connected conditions were also denied.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a finding that the Veteran's claimed conditions began during active service or are otherwise related to an in-service injury, event, or disease.
