Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's appeal for a rating in excess of 30 percent for cervical strain, as the evidence did not support an increased rating.
The deciding factor: The cervical spine disability did not meet the criteria for a higher rating due to the lack of unfavorable ankylosis or functional equivalent thereof.
