Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for service connection for a spine disability as the probative evidence did not support that it was caused by or otherwise a result of his military service.
The deciding factor: The VA medical opinions provided a sufficiently thorough rationale, finding no nexus between the Veteran's current spinal disability and his military service due to lack of continuous treatment and evidence of aging and chronic overuse as the primary cause.
