The Board denied service connection for a neck disability, right upper extremity neuropathy, left upper extremity neuropathy, and spinal fusion scar as the evidence did not support that these conditions began during active service or are related to an in-service injury.

The deciding factor: The evidence of record does not persuasively weigh in favor of finding that the Veteran's claimed disabilities began during active service or are otherwise related to an in-service injury, event, or disease.
