Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for chronic low back pain and denied service connection for left knee pain, right knee pain, left hip chronic pain, and right hip chronic pain.
The deciding factor: Service connection was granted based on the onset of back pain during active service. The other claims were denied due to lack of evidence linking the disabilities to active service or aggravation of a pre-existing condition.
