Denied
The Board denied service connection for a neck condition, finding that the Veteran's current condition did not manifest in or shortly after service and was unrelated to his service.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner opined that the Veteran's neck condition is less likely than not related to his reported in-service motorcycle accident and service, due to the lack of medical evidence for over two decades following separation from active duty.
