The Board has revised its July 20, 2015 decision to grant service connection for chronic cervical strain. The other issues of service connection were denied due to lack of evidence.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the moving party's cervical spine disability was caused by an injury during a period of active duty for training (ACDUTRA) or inactive duty for training (INACDUTRA).
