Partly granted
The veteran's claims for service connection for neck and low back disabilities were denied, but the claim for right knee disability was remanded for further consideration.
The deciding factor: The evidence persuasively weighs against finding that the Veteran's neck and low back disabilities began during active service or are otherwise related to an in-service event, injury, or disease.
