Partly granted
The claim to readjudicate service connection for a low back disability based on new evidence was granted. However, the claim for service connection for the same disability was denied.
The deciding factor: The Board found that new and relevant evidence warranted readjudication but did not establish a causal relationship between the Veteran's current low back disability and in-service events.
