Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for lung cancer, but remanded the claims for COPD, emphysema, bilateral feet condition to include nails, acquired psychiatric disability, and TDIU.
The deciding factor: The evidence is at least in equipoise as to whether the Veteran's lung cancer is causally related to service, and thus a grant of service connection is warranted. The other claims are remanded for further development.
