Partly granted
The Board denied service connection for tendonitis and remanded the claim for a low back disability due to insufficient evidence of a nexus between the Veteran's current disabilities and their military service.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the lack of evidence showing a diagnosis or history of tendonitis, and an inadequate medical opinion regarding the etiology of the Veteran's low back disabilities.
