Granted
The Board granted service connection for left and right lower extremity radiculopathy, finding that these conditions are caused by the Veteran's service-connected back condition.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on a medical opinion from a physician assistant linking the Veteran's degenerative disc disease to her lumbosacral strain, which is already service-connected, and concluding that it is at least as likely as not that the radiculopathy is linked to this condition.
