Granted
The Board granted service connection for a low back condition, finding that the Veteran's current disability had its clinical onset during his active duty service.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's low back condition was directly related to an in-service incident where he fell due to a jet blast while on the flight deck of the USS Saratoga.
