Granted
The Board granted service connection for a lower back disability, diagnosed as a lumbosacral strain, intervertebral disc syndrome, spondylolysis, and spondylolisthesis, resolving all doubt in favor of the Veteran.
The deciding factor: The evidence is at least in approximate balance as to whether the Veteran's low back disability had onset in service, and accordingly the doubt is resolved in favor of the Veteran.
