Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for claudication and urinary incontinence associated with the Veteran's lumbosacral strain, but remanded an increased rating claim for the lumbar spine disability.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on competent medical evidence linking the Veteran's claudication and urinary incontinence to his service-connected spinal stenosis.
