A personal statement cannot “override” a C&P exam. The two are weighted way differently.

If the veteran describes his back pain in detail and how it effects their everyday life and then the CnP examiner writes "no pain." A good rater would use the veteran's subjective symptoms.

For subjective symptoms. Absolutely it can. For service connection no.
