Granted
The Board of Veterans' Appeals granted service connection for a low back disability, finding that the Veteran's current condition is related to an injury sustained during his active duty service.
The deciding factor: The deciding factor was the competent and credible positive nexus opinion obtained on remand, which found that the Veteran's low back disability had its onset in service as a result of being trampled in a crowd in 1969.
