Granted
The veteran's claim for service connection for a herniated lumbar disc with arthritis and lumbar strain was granted. The Board found that the condition is at least as likely as not related to service.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on a private Disability Benefits Questionnaire from November 2014, service treatment records indicating low back pain in 1983, and a Line of Duty Determination report from 1992.
