Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for lumbosacral strain and remanded the claims for bilateral flat foot with achilles tendinitis, eczema, tinea pedis, right foot hallux valgus, and left knee osteoarthritis.
The deciding factor: The evidence is at least evenly balanced as to whether the Veteran's current back condition is related to his back injury that occurred during service. The Board resolved all doubt in favor of the Veteran.
