Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for lumbar spine degenerative arthritis, lumbosacral strain, and hypertension, but denied service connection for tinnitus.
The deciding factor: The evidence of record supports a nexus between the Veteran's current disabilities and his military service through presumptive or secondary means, except for tinnitus which was not supported by credible evidence.
