The Board denied service connection for a cervical spine disability with left upper extremity radiculopathy, finding no evidence of an in-service injury or chronic symptoms leading to the current condition.

The deciding factor: The evidence did not establish a nexus between the claimed in-service injury and the current cervical spine disability, as there was no continuity of symptomatology or diagnosis during service or within one year of discharge.
