Denied
The Board denied service connection for a neck and low back disability as the evidence did not support a positive nexus between the Veteran's current conditions and his military service.
The deciding factor: The VA examiners found that there was no medical reason to establish a positive nexus between the Veteran's reported in-service injuries and his current disabilities, citing extended gaps in treatment records and lack of chronicity of symptoms post-service.
