Partly granted
The Board denied service connection for a thoracic spine disability and remanded the claims for bilateral hip, left sciatic radicular pain, headaches, and cervicothoracic spine disabilities.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not persuasively support a finding that the Veteran's claimed conditions were related to his active service or secondary to his service-connected right knee condition.
