Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for a lumbar spine disability and denied service connection for left knee, right knee, and bilateral foot disabilities.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support the presence of current disabilities in the knees or feet during the appeal period, while it supported the grant of service connection for a lumbar spine disability based on favorable findings from a previous rating decision.
