Granted
The Board granted service connection for lumbar spine degenerative arthritis, degenerative disc disease, lumbosacral strain, and spinal stenosis based on the Veteran's in-service back injury and chronicity of symptoms.
The deciding factor: The Board resolved all doubt in favor of the Veteran and found that his current lumbar spine conditions are related to his military service due to an in-service back injury and chronicity of symptoms since service.
