Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for low back degenerative disc disease and remanded the claims for a right knee disability, migraine headaches, neck disability, left shoulder disability, and right shoulder disability.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's low back degenerative disc disease was shown as chronic in service and is not attributable to intercurrent causes. The Board found that the condition manifested within one year of separation from service and is not attributable to intercurrent causes.
