Partly granted
The Board granted readjudication of the claims for service connection for low back disability and bilateral pes planus based on new evidence, but denied increased ratings for residuals of right inguinal hernia repair and right groin scar. The Board also remanded the claims for service connection for a low back disability and bilateral pes planus.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on whether the new evidence was relevant to the Veteran's claims and if it warranted readjudication, as well as the criteria for assigning increased ratings or granting service connection.
