Denied
The Board denied service connection for a back disability as the evidence did not support a finding that the Veteran's current condition was related to his military service.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner opined that the Veteran's back condition is less likely than not due to service, and there were no in-service complaints or findings of a spine condition during any active duty period.
