Granted
The Board granted service connection for lumbosacral strain with degenerative disc disease and stenosis, multilevel disc bulge and anterolisthesis based on the evidence supporting a nexus to active duty service.
The deciding factor: The evidence is at least in approximate balance that the Veteran's back condition was caused by his active-duty service, supporting a finding of service connection.
