Partly granted
The appeal to readjudicate a claim for service connection for right leg shortening due to poliomyelitis was granted, while the appeal for a low back disability, to include scoliosis, was dismissed.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on new and relevant evidence being submitted after the initial denial in 1970, allowing for readjudication of the claim for right leg shortening due to poliomyelitis. The low back disability appeal was dismissed as it had been fully granted.
