Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claim for service connection for spinal spondylosis, finding that the condition pre-existed service and was not aggravated by it.
The deciding factor: The evidence clearly and unmistakably showed that the appellant's spinal spondylosis existed before acceptance and enrollment into service and was not aggravated by service.
