Granted
The Board granted service connection for lumbar spine degenerative disc disease, finding that the Veteran's condition is related to an in-service motor vehicle accident.
The deciding factor: Service connection was granted based on evidence of injury during service and a current diagnosis, along with an informed medical opinion linking the current condition to the in-service incident.
