Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for service connection for a cervical spine disability, finding that the evidence does not support an in-service incurrence or a causal relationship between the current disability and active duty.
The deciding factor: The Board found that there was no credible evidence of an injury to the neck during service, and the onset of symptoms was too far removed from service for a direct connection to be established.
