Partly granted
The veteran's service connection for lower back and left knee disabilities was granted. The claims for bronchial asthma and bilateral hearing loss were dismissed.
The deciding factor: The Board found the Veteran's statements sufficient to establish symptoms during service that persisted post-service, warranting service connection by continuity and chronicity.
