Granted
The Board granted service connection for a lumbar spine disability, finding that the Veteran's current condition is related to his active duty service.
The deciding factor: The medical opinion from Dr. D.Z., supported by the Veteran's statements and military records, established a nexus between the Veteran's in-service activities and his current lumbar spine disability.
