Granted
The Board has granted service connection for a low back disorder that is proximately due to or the result of a service-connected right foot disorder. The veteran's anxiety disorder with dysthymia remains at a 10 percent rating.
The deciding factor: The July 2005 VA examination report supported the claim by indicating that the veteran's low back disorder was more likely than not aggravated by his service-connected right foot disorder.
