Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claim for service connection for a back condition, finding no evidence of a nexus between the in-service incident and the current disability.
The deciding factor: The VA examinations provided more persuasive evidence against a nexus than the private physician opinions did in favor of one, thus denying service connection.
