Granted
The veteran's service connection for a low back disability was granted. The Board found that the veteran's low back pain, diagnosed as degenerative arthritis and other conditions, is related to an incident during his service in Iraq.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the veteran's current diagnosis of degenerative arthritis and other conditions, along with evidence of an in-service event and a VA medical opinion attributing the disability to this event, warranted granting service connection.
