Dismissed
The Board dismissed the appeals for service connection and increased ratings due to the Veteran's withdrawal of several claims, with one issue remaining on appeal regarding lumbar spinal stenosis.
The deciding factor: The evidence does not support a finding that the Veteran's back disability is related to his active duty service based on the lack of in-service reports of chronic symptoms and the long gap between service and onset of symptoms.
