Denied
The Board denied service connection for a low back condition, finding no evidence linking the Veteran's current condition to his military service.
The deciding factor: The VA examiners' opinions were deemed more credible than the Veteran's reports and the private opinion due to their thorough review of records and provision of supporting rationale.
