Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for a skin condition but denied it for a lung or respiratory condition. The issues related to increased ratings for the Veteran's back and sciatic nerve disabilities were remanded.
The deciding factor: The evidence was in approximate balance as to whether the Veteran experienced a current skin condition that began during service, while there was no persuasive evidence of a lung or respiratory condition beginning during or as a result of active service.
