Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for a low back disability but denied service connection for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
The deciding factor: Service connection was granted based on the credible evidence of in-service incurrence and current diagnosis, while PTSD was denied due to lack of a conforming diagnosis.
