Denied
The Board denied service connection for a low back disorder as the evidence did not support a causal relationship between the current condition and the Veteran's in-service injury.
The deciding factor: The March 2017 VA examiner found that it was less likely than not that the low back disorder was incurred in or caused by an in-service injury, to include an in-service spinal contusion. The evidence did not establish a nexus between the current condition and service.
