Granted
The Board granted service connection for lumbar strain, piriformis syndrome, and scoliosis based on the finding that the Veteran's preexisting scoliosis disorder was permanently aggravated as a result of her military service.
The deciding factor: The evidence demonstrated an approximate balance of positive and negative evidence regarding whether the Veteran's preexisting scoliosis disorder was clearly and unmistakably aggravated beyond its natural progression by active-duty service, leading to a grant of service connection based on this aggravation.
