Granted
The veteran's claim for service connection for a back disability, diagnosed as grade 1 anterior listhesis with disc bulging at L5/S1, degenerative arthritis and intervertebral disc disease, is granted. The decision is based on new and relevant evidence submitted after the initial denial.
The deciding factor: The Board found that new and relevant evidence, including a positive private medical opinion and a VA back examination, supported the veteran's claim for service connection.
