Granted
The Board granted service connection for a cervical spine disability and neurological impairment of the left upper extremity, finding that both conditions are at least as likely as not related to the Veteran's active service.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the Veteran's credible lay reports of continuous symptoms following his in-service injuries and the evidence supporting the onset of these disabilities within one year of separation from service.
