REF: 38 CFR § 3.104(c) - Favorable findings 

The DECISION section of the Rating Decision dated 11/21/2018 states that  Service connection for degenerative disc disease, lumbar spine (claimed as back) is denied based on the Medical (Thoracolumbar Spine) Condition DBQ dated July 19, 2016 by Dr. xxx

The Favorable Findings of the Rating Decision 11/21/2018 states "Private examination for Dr. Sean Burgest (Board-certified Anesthesiology and Pain Management) opined that chronic L5-S1 disc degeneration & bilateral lower extremity sciatica are more likely than not less secondary connected (due to abnormal gait caused by service connected left ankle disability)" based on the Corrected Supplemental claim for Medical (Thoracolumbar Spine) Condition DBQ dated October 18, 2017 by Dr. xxx.
