Denied
The Veteran's claim for service connection for lumbar disc herniation was denied because the evidence did not show that the condition began during active service or is related to an in-service event.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's current low back condition was not incurred during service and is not related to service, based on a VA medical opinion and the Veteran's post-service treatment records.
