Granted
The Board granted service connection for a cervical spine disability, diagnosed as status post cervical spine surgical procedure with degenerative arthritis, spinal stenosis, and radiculopathy of the bilateral upper extremities.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's cervical spine disability had its onset during service, and there is evidence supporting a direct link between the in-service injury and the current disability.
