Granted
The Board granted service connection for lumbosacral strain, finding that the Veteran's current low back disability had its onset during his military service with continuity of symptoms since such time.
The deciding factor: The evidence at least in relative equipoise supported the Veteran's contention that he first developed low back problems as a result of his active duty service, and resolving reasonable doubt in favor of the Veteran, the Board found that his current low back disability was related to his active duty service.
