Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for the veteran's back, right elbow, left leg, and right leg conditions based on their onset during active service.
The deciding factor: The evidence supports a direct link between the veterans' claimed conditions and their in-service experiences, despite negative nexus opinions from VA examiners due to lack of contemporaneous medical records or other supporting data.
