Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for other specified anxiety disorder and readjudicated the claim of entitlement to service connection for a lower back disability. The claims for service connection for left hip, right hip, neck, left ankle, left knee, and right knee disabilities were dismissed or remanded.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on new and relevant evidence supporting the Veteran's claim for a lower back disability and the medical opinion linking his other specified anxiety disorder to his military service in Oman.
