Granted
Service connection for degenerative disc disease of the spine is granted. The evidence was in approximate balance, but the veteran received the benefit of the doubt.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the evidence was in approximate balance on whether the Veteran's spine disability is related to service, and thus, service connection is warranted.
