Granted
The Board granted service connection for lumbosacral strain, finding that the Veteran's current condition is directly related to her military service.
The deciding factor: The evidence supports a direct link between the Veteran's in-service back pain and her current lumbosacral strain, with positive private medical opinions outweighing the VA opinion.
