Partly granted
The Board has determined that new and material evidence was not received to reopen the claims for left foot, bilateral eye, and dental disorders. The veteran's service connection claim for a left foot disorder is denied, while his claims for bilateral eye disorder (presumptive due to Agent Orange exposure) and dental disorder (presumptive due to military service) are granted.
The deciding factor: The evidence received since the last denial did not raise a reasonable possibility of substantiating the underlying claims for service connection for left foot, bilateral eye, or dental disorders.

What this means for you
A partial grant means some issues were granted while others were denied or remanded — common in multi-issue claims. Look at which issues went which way, and how each was argued.
