Denied
The Board denied service connection for a neck disability and a right hip disability, finding that the evidence does not support a causal relationship between these conditions and the Veteran's active military service.
The deciding factor: The VA medical opinions were given greater weight as they were consistent with the service treatment records and the Veteran's lay statements did not consistently adhere to the medical records in his claims file.
