The Board denied service connection for a cervical spine disability, finding that the evidence does not support a nexus between the Veteran's current condition and his active service.
The deciding factor: The evidence of record persuasively weighs against finding that the Veteran's currently diagnosed cervical spine disability began during active service, was manifest to a compensable degree within one year following service discharge, or is otherwise etiologically related to an in-service injury or disease, including his service-connected post-traumatic migraine headaches and traumatic brain injury.
