Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for a lumbar spine disability and denied an initial compensable rating for right foot hammer toes, while remanding the claim for service connection for hepatitis.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's lumbar spine disability was directly related to his military service, but there was insufficient evidence to support a compensable rating for the right foot hammer toes. The Board found that further medical evidence is needed regarding the etiology of the Veteran's hepatitis.
