Granted
The Board granted service connection for lumbosacral strain, finding an approximate balance of positive and negative evidence regarding its relation to the Veteran's in-service back pain.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the conceded in-service treatment for back pain and the lack of clear evidence against a relationship between the current condition and service.
