Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for service connection for a low back condition as new and relevant evidence was not submitted to warrant readjudication.
The deciding factor: The private medical opinion did not provide sufficient evidence to establish a current disability or persistent symptomology related to an in-service injury, despite acknowledging possible risk factors for such injuries among military personnel.
