Partly granted
The veteran's claim for service connection for a low back condition was granted, but the request for an increased rating for PTSD was denied.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's statements and medical evidence supported a service-connected low back condition, while the symptoms described did not warrant a higher rating for PTSD.
