Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for service connection for a back disability, finding that there was no evidence of an in-service event or injury and no nexus between the current condition and active duty.
The deciding factor: The December 2023 VA examination found that the Veteran's current back disability was not related to his active-duty service or another service-connected disability due to a lack of continuity of symptoms and the most likely cause being falls from flatbed trucks.
