The Board granted service connection for a back condition, finding the evidence in relative equipoise as to whether it is causally related to the Veteran's service.
The deciding factor: The positive and negative medical opinions put the evidence in relative equipoise as to whether the Veteran's acquired back condition is causally related to service. When the evidence for and against the claim is in relative equipoise, all reasonable doubt must be resolved in favor of the claimant.
