Granted
The Board granted service connection for a low back disorder, finding that the evidence is in equipoise regarding whether the Veteran's low back disability was aggravated by his service-connected right knee disabilities.
The deciding factor: The evidence regarding the possible aggravation of the Veteran's low back disability by his right knee disability is in equipoise, and further remand would not yield additional clarification.
