Partly granted
The veteran's claim for service connection for a lumbar spine condition was denied. The claim for service connection for psychiatric disorders, including PTSD, generalized anxiety disorder, and major depressive disorder, was remanded.
The deciding factor: The Board found no evidence of a current lumbar spine disability; the psychiatric claim was remanded due to duty to assist errors.
