Partly granted
The Board denied service connection for an acquired psychiatric disorder and hypertension, but granted service connection for lumbosacral strain with intervertebral disc disease (IVDS).
The deciding factor: The evidence was not evenly balanced as to the Veteran's back disability, so service connection is warranted. However, there was no clear evidence linking the other conditions to military service.
