Partly granted
The veteran's back disability is service-connected. The claims for left hip, left hand, and right shoulder disabilities are remanded for further examination.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the veteran's back disability was related to his service as a helicopter pilot due to extensive heavy vibrations and prolonged seated positions.
