Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claim for service connection for a lumbosacral strain, finding that there was no evidence to support a causal relationship between the condition and his active military service.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner's opinion was persuasive in concluding that the Veteran's current lumbosacral strain was less likely than not due to active service, as there was no chronicity during or after service and other post-service events were more likely causes of the condition.
