Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for degenerative arthritis with scoliosis, thoracolumbar spine and remanded the claims for hemorrhoids and bilateral foot condition.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's reports of symptoms of recurrent back pain since service were found to be competent and credible, leading to a finding that his degenerative arthritis with scoliosis of the thoracolumbar spine had onset during service and has been continuous since his period of active service.
