Partly granted
The Board denied service connection for a lower back condition and remanded claims for service connection for chicken pox or residuals of chicken pox, hair loss, bilateral knee condition, and bilateral shoulder condition.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support the Veteran's claim for a current lower back condition related to service, while the other claims required further examination.
