Denied
The Board denied service connection for the veteran's degenerative arthritis, spondylolisthesis, lumbar surgery, pseudo-claudication syndrome, and severe diffuse lumbar scoliosis. The evidence did not show a nexus between these conditions and the veteran's service.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner opined that the Veteran's conditions are less likely than not incurred in or caused by active military service.
