Partly granted
Service connection for the veteran's back disability was granted. Other issues related to right hand, right shoulder, right wrist, and right ankle disabilities were remanded for further evaluation.
The deciding factor: The board found that the veteran's preexisting mild scoliosis was aggravated during service, warranting service connection for the back disability.
