Denied
The Board denied service connection for low back disability, cervical spine disability, and right leg nerve disability as the evidence did not support a causal relationship between these conditions and the Veteran's active service.
The deciding factor: The VA examinations and medical literature did not support a link between the claimed disabilities and the Veteran's military service or toxic exposure activities.
