Partly granted
The Board denied service connection for PTSD and remanded the claims for an increased rating of a right forearm disability and service connection for a lumbar spine disability.
The deciding factor: The Veteran was found not to have PTSD, and the evidence did not support a link between his current back condition and his in-service injury.
