Partly granted
The veteran's service connection for a back condition is granted based on new and relevant evidence. The claim for service connection for a thyroid condition is denied.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the presence of new and relevant evidence supporting the back condition and the lack of evidence linking the thyroid condition to service.
