Granted
The Veteran's claim for service connection for a back disability is granted. The Board found that the Veteran's back disability had its onset in, and is related to, his active military service.
The deciding factor: The Board determined that all three elements of direct service connection were met: current disability, in-service incurrence or aggravation, and a nexus between the in-service event and the current disability.
