Granted
The Board granted service connection for degenerative disc disease, degenerative arthritis, and lumbar spondylosis based on the evidence of record.
The deciding factor: The evidence was found to be in equipoise as to whether the Veteran's lumbar spine disability is related to service, and the benefit of the doubt was given to the Veteran.
