Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for dermatitis, chronic fatigue syndrome, left knee disorder, left ankle disorder, and lumbar spine disorder. The initial ratings for right knee patellofemoral pain syndrome and shin splints of the left lower extremity were denied.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's conditions were granted or denied based on a preponderance of evidence supporting their relationship to his active military service, with some claims being supported by lay statements and medical opinions.
