Partly granted
The appeal for service connection for a back condition was granted due to new and relevant evidence. The claims for service connection for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) were remanded.
The deciding factor: New evidence provided additional information that tends to prove or disprove whether the Veteran has a current back disability that was incurred in service, warranting readjudication of the claim.
