Granted
The Board granted service connection for cervical spine disability, finding that the evidence is at least evenly balanced as to whether the Veteran's cervical spine disability onset in-service.
The deciding factor: The private medical opinions from S.P. and Dr. R.B., along with the Veteran's credible accounts of neck pain during his military service, provided sufficient probative value for the Board to grant service connection.
