Denied
The Board denied the claims for service connection for a cervical spine disability, right upper extremity radiculopathy, and left upper extremity radiculopathy as there was no evidence of a chronic disability in service or a nexus between the current disabilities and service.
The deciding factor: The VA examiners' opinions were cumulative and noted that there was no documentation, continuity of care, or medical evidence linking the Veteran's current cervical spine disability to his active service.
