Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for lumbar spine disability, left foot disability to include stress fracture left great toe, sesamoiditis, and right knee degenerative arthritis. The claims for left knee, bilateral hearing loss, and tinnitus were remanded.
The deciding factor: The evidence shows that the Veteran's claimed conditions are at least as likely as not etiologically related to his active-duty service.
