Partly granted
The Board granted the restoration of the 20 percent disability rating for a service-connected low back disability, effective December 1, 2023, and remanded the claim for a higher rating.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show improvement in the Veteran's ability to function under ordinary conditions of life and work, warranting restoration of the previous rating.
