Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for lumbosacral strain and bilateral calcaneal heel spurs, but remanded the claims for entitlement to service connection for bilateral hearing loss and cervical strain.
The deciding factor: The evidence supports a direct relationship between the Veteran's current conditions and his active-duty service.
