Granted
The Board granted service connection for a low back disability based on in-service aggravation of a pre-existing condition.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's pre-existing back disability increased in severity during active service, and there was no clear and unmistakable evidence that this increase was due to natural progression.
