Granted
The Board granted service connection for lumbar, thoracic, and cervical spine disabilities based on new and relevant evidence of continuous symptoms since service.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's reports of in-service back and neck injuries, along with post-service treatment records and lay statements corroborating his claims, supported the finding that he experienced continuity of symptomatology related to these conditions since separation from active service.
