Granted
The Board grants service connection for thoracic spondylosis based on the Veteran's reported continuous back symptoms since service and resolving doubt in favor of the Veteran.
The deciding factor: The Board finds that the criteria for service connection for thoracic spondylosis are met, as the Veteran has a history of back symptoms since service and the current disability is at least as likely as not related to the in-service injury.
