Partly granted
The veteran's claim for service connection for a low back disability was remanded due to new and relevant evidence, but ultimately denied because the evidence did not show a diagnosis of a low back disability or functional impairment.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran has not presented any competent evidence that his low back pain results in functional impairment that affects his earning capacity.
