Denied
The Board denied service connection for a cervical spine disability, residuals of a TBI, left elbow disability, and right elbow disability as the evidence did not support the claims.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner's opinion was highly probative as it was based on a thorough review of the record and supported by an explanation that contained clear conclusions. The Board found no credible evidence supporting current disabilities related to service for any of these conditions.
