Granted
The Board granted service connection for degenerative disc disease and spinal stenosis in the cervical spine, finding that the evidence is in relative equipoise as to whether the Veteran's condition was incurred during service.
The deciding factor: The Board found the medical evidence, including opinions from treating physicians, to be highly persuasive in supporting an in-service onset of the Veteran's current cervical spine disability.
