Granted
The Veteran's claim for VA home loan guaranty benefits is granted based on his service-connected lumbar spine disability, which resulted in his discharge from military service.
The deciding factor: Service connection was established for a pre-existing lumbar spine disability that was aggravated by the Veteran's service, and as such, he meets the criteria to establish basic eligibility for VA home loan benefits.
