Granted
The Board granted service connection for peripheral neuropathy of the left and right lower extremities, finding that it was at least as likely as not caused by the Veteran's service-connected prostate cancer.
The deciding factor: The evidence supported a reasonable doubt on the matter of secondary aggravation, leading to an award of service connection based on the theory of secondary causation.
