Granted
The Veteran's claim for service connection for a back condition is granted based on credible lay evidence and the Veteran's credible testimony.
The deciding factor: The Board found the Veteran's testimony credible, supported by statements from his ex-wife and current wife, and consistent with his physical role in military service.
