Granted
The Board granted service connection for a lower back disorder, including lumbosacral strain, intervertebral disc syndrome (IVDS), and bilateral lumbar radiculopathy.
The deciding factor: There is an approximate balance of positive and negative evidence regarding whether the Veteran's lower back disability relates to service, leading to the grant of the claim based on new and relevant evidence.
