Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for a back disability and denied it for a right foot disability, with the right knee disability remanded for further development.
The deciding factor: The evidence supported a direct link between the Veteran's in-service truck accident and his current back disability, but not for a right foot disability due to lack of evidence of a current disability outside of non-service-connected vascular/peripheral artery disease symptoms.
