Granted
The Board granted service connection for latent tuberculosis and lumbosacral strain, finding that the Veteran's in-service back pain and positive tuberculosis test results established a direct link to his current conditions.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran had an in-service disease and ongoing symptoms, triggering the benefit of the doubt doctrine for service connection.
