Denied
The Board denied service connection for cervical strain with degenerative arthritis, left upper extremity cervical radiculopathy, and migraine headaches as the evidence did not support a finding that these conditions were incurred in or caused by active service.
The deciding factor: The VA examiners' opinions, based on an accurate medical history, provided clear conclusions and supporting data, indicating no relationship between the Veteran's current disabilities and his military service.
