Partly granted
The Board granted a 20 percent rating for the Veteran's back disability effective September 3, 2015, and denied a higher rating prior to that date.
The deciding factor: The evidence showed worsening of the Veteran's back disability since September 2015, warranting a 20 percent rating. Prior to that date, there was insufficient evidence to support a higher rating.
