Denied
The Board denied service connection for a cervical spine disability as there was no evidence of an in-service injury or disease related to active duty, ADT, or IDT.
The deciding factor: The appellant's current diagnosis did not have a nexus to any period of active military service, ADT, or IDT due to the lack of in-service injury and treatment records.
