Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for a lumbar spine disability and remanded claims for service connection for a cervical spine disability, right knee disability, and an increased rating for headaches.
The deciding factor: The evidence was in at least an approximate balance as to whether the Veteran had a current lumbar spine disability that was related to an injury during ACDUTRA/INACDUTRA. The other claims were remanded for further development.
