Granted
The Board granted service connection for degenerative arthritis of the lumbar spine, finding that the Veteran experienced pain related to his back disability since separation from service and establishing continuity of symptomatology.
The deciding factor: The Board concluded that the evidence established continuity of symptomatology and granted service connection based on the benefit-of-the-doubt rule.
