Partly granted
The veteran's claim for service connection for lumbosacral strain was denied. The claims for bilateral hearing loss and left leg disorder, including left ankle, were remanded for further evaluation.
The deciding factor: The evidence of record persuasively weighs against finding that the lumbosacral strain began during active service or is otherwise related to an in-service injury or disease.
