Partly granted
The Board denied service connection for a thoracolumbar spine disorder and remanded the claims for left and right lower extremity shin splints.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not establish a nexus between the current thoracolumbar spine disorder and in-service treatment, while the claims for shin splints required further medical examination to determine their etiology.
