Granted
The veteran's low back disability is service-connected due to an in-service parachute landing injury. The Board resolved reasonable doubt in the Veteran's favor.
The deciding factor: The Board found credible evidence of an unreported in-service injury and consistent lay statements supporting the veteran's claim.
