Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for degenerative arthritis of the lumbar spine, left shoulder, and bilateral plantar fasciitis. The appeal was also granted to reopen a claim for service connection for bilateral hip disability.
The deciding factor: Service connection was granted based on credible evidence of continuity of symptoms since service and medical opinions supporting a link between current disabilities and in-service events.
