Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for a back condition (diagnosed as lumbosacral strain) and tinnitus, but dismissed the claims for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and bilateral plantar fasciitis.
The deciding factor: The evidence was in approximate balance to support the Veteran's claim for a low back condition and tinnitus, while the claims for PTSD and bilateral plantar fasciitis were dismissed due to untimely Notice of Disagreement submissions.
