Re: incurred personal injury

Do you have medical opinions that link your current back problems to the service injury? Did you have continuous treatment for back problems since you got out? Do you have those records? Regardless, you should file a claim with the VA to get the ball rolling, then get your service records (including medical) and show the VA how the event in service is connected to your current problems. I hope this helps.
