Denied
The Board denied service connection for a back condition, finding that the evidence does not support a causal relationship between the Veteran's current back disability and his active-duty service.
The deciding factor: The medical opinions weigh against nexus, attributing the Veteran's current diagnosis to post-service causes rather than in-service incurrence.
