Granted
The Board granted service connection for lumbosacral strain, left and right lower extremity radiculopathy, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), and a compensable disability rating for tension/common headaches.
The deciding factor: The evidence supports that the Veteran's current conditions were incurred in or aggravated by active service based on multiple complaints of pain during service and post-service medical opinions supporting a link to service.
