Granted
The Board granted service connection for cervical strain, finding that the Veteran's neck disability is related to his active military service.
The deciding factor: The evidence supports a finding of chronicity and continuity of symptoms since service, which outweighs the negative nexus opinion due to its inadequacies in addressing lay statements of continuous pain.
