Granted
The Board granted service connection for a low back disability manifested by pain, finding that the Veteran's low back pain results in functional impairment and is related to service. The claims for headaches and obstructive sleep apnea were remanded.
The deciding factor: The private medical opinions submitted after the previous rating decision supported the Veteran's claims, leading to the grant of service connection for a low back disability manifested by pain.
