Denied
The Board denied service connection for the veteran's cervical spondylolysis, peripheral neuralgia of the bilateral upper extremities, myalgia, and myofascial pain. The Board found that these conditions are not related to her active-duty service.
The deciding factor: The May 2023 VA examiner opined that the Veteran's neck disability was less likely than not related to her truck driving duties in service.
