Granted
The Board granted service connection for thoracolumbar spine arthritis, finding that the evidence supports a direct link between the Veteran's back disability and her military service.
The deciding factor: The Board found the evidence to be in equipoise as to whether the Veteran's current arthritis is related to service, and resolved all doubt in favor of the Veteran.
