Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for left shoulder arthritis on a chronic disease presumptive basis, but remanded the issue of service connection for a bilateral eye disability.
The deciding factor: The evidence supported 'chronic' symptoms during and after service, meeting the criteria for presumptive service connection under 38 U.S.C. § 1112 and 38 C.F.R. § 3.303(b).
