Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for thoracolumbar spine degenerative arthritis but denied service connection for right and left foot disabilities.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support the presence of current disabilities in the feet, while a nexus was established between the motor vehicle accident during service and the lumbar spine disability.
