The Board has reopened the veteran's claims for PTSD and Crohn's disease, but denied service connection for a back disorder. The decision is mixed as some issues were granted while others were not.
The deciding factor: New evidence submitted since the last denial supports reopening of the PTSD and Crohn's disease claims, but does not establish service connection for the back disorder.
