Granted
The Board granted an effective date of March 1, 2004, for the grant of service connection for a spine disability.
The deciding factor: The evidence was both new and material, allowing the claim to remain pending, and the Veteran's original claim encompassed service connection for a spine disability received within one year of discharge from active duty.
