Partly granted
The veteran's claim for service connection for a herniated disc in the cervical spine was denied. The claims for hypertension, back condition, left knee condition, right knee condition, and bilateral foot conditions were remanded for further evaluation.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the lack of evidence showing a current diagnosis or treatment for a herniated disc involving the cervical spine.
