Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for a cervical strain, finding it related to the Veteran's service. The claims for lumbosacral and left ankle strains were remanded for further development.
The deciding factor: The private medical opinion provided probative evidence linking the cervical strain to in-service physical training and duties.
