Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for cervical degenerative arthritis, while remanding the claims for lumbosacral strain and plantar fasciitis of the left and right foot.
The deciding factor: Service connection was granted based on credible evidence of continuity of symptomatology, despite a lack of in-service treatment records. The Board found the Veteran's statements regarding onset and continuity of symptoms to be competent and credible.
