Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claims for increased ratings for cervical spine strain, finding that the evidence did not support a higher rating under the applicable criteria.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's cervical spine disability did not more nearly approximate the rating criteria of a higher disability level due to limited range of motion and functional impairment.
