Granted
The Board granted service connection for lumbosacral strain, finding that the Veteran's back pain began in service and has continued since.
The deciding factor: The evidence supports a direct link between the Veteran's current lumbosacral strain and her in-service back pain, despite an inadequate VA examination opinion.
