Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for a low back disability but denied service connection for residuals of a traumatic brain injury and a right eye disability.
The deciding factor: The evidence supported the appellant's claim for a low back disability, while there was insufficient evidence to support his claims for TBI and right eye disabilities.
