Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claim for service connection for a cervical spine disorder, finding that there was no evidence of a current disability; in-service incurrence or aggravation of a disease or injury; and a causal relationship between the claimed in-service disease or injury and the present disability.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's cervical spine disorder did not clearly and unmistakably preexist his service, and there was no evidence to support an etiological relationship between the Veteran's service and his diagnosed cervical spine disorder.
