Granted
The Board granted service connection for a back disability and a neck disability, resolving reasonable doubt in the Veteran's favor.
The deciding factor: The evidence is at least in equipoise as to whether the Veteran's current back and neck disabilities onset during service, and thus service connection is warranted after resolving all doubt in favor of the Veteran.
