Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claims for service connection for degenerative changes of the cervical spine and migraines (claimed as headaches) as secondary to a degenerative change in the cervical spine.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not establish a link between the claimed conditions and the veteran's military service, including any toxic exposure or service-connected disability.
