Partly granted
The Board denied an increased rating for atrial flutter and granted service connection for a back scar, but remanded the claim for a skin condition manifested as lipomas.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's atrial flutter did not meet the criteria for a higher evaluation, while his back scar was directly related to in-service injury. The Board found that further development is needed regarding the ongoing lipoma condition due to potential toxic exposures.
