Granted
The Board granted an effective date of July 9, 2018, for the grant of service connection for a cervical spine condition based on presumptive service connection due to the diagnosis within one year of discharge.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the Veteran's claim filed on July 9, 2018, and the presumption of service connection for arthritis as a chronic disease diagnosed within one year of separation from service.
