Granted
The veteran's service connection claim for cervical strain, spondylosis, cervical degenerative joint disease, and bilateral cervical radiculopathy C5-C6 was granted. The Board found that the veteran has a current neck disability with an onset in service.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the evidence of record, including private medical opinions and the Veteran's statements, supported a direct causal relationship between the veteran's current neck disability and service.
