Granted
The Board grants service connection for a lumbar spine condition, resolving reasonable doubt in the Veteran's favor.
The deciding factor: The February 2025 VA examination and private opinion from Dr. K provided sufficient evidence to establish a nexus between the Veteran's current lumbar spine condition and his inservice fall.
