Denied
The Board denied service connection for lumbosacral strain, finding no medical evidence linking the condition to the Veteran's active service.
The deciding factor: The August 2023 VA examiner's opinion was persuasive against finding that the Veteran's current lumbosacral strain was incurred in or caused by service due to inconsistencies in his reported symptoms and lack of contemporaneous medical records supporting a link between the condition and service.
