Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for Crohn's disease and denied service connection for a right knee condition, left knee condition, and low back condition.
The deciding factor: The evidence supports a direct nexus between the Veteran's Crohn's disease and in-service exposures to hazardous substances. There is no evidence of a current or past back disability during the pendency of the claim.
