Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for low back disability, diagnosed as spondylolisthesis at L4 and degenerative disc disease at L2-L3 and L4-L5. The left and right foot issues were remanded.
The deciding factor: Service connection was granted based on the evidence showing a current disability related to in-service injury and post-service continuity of symptoms, resolving reasonable doubt in favor of the Veteran.
