Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claims for service connection for a thoracic spine disorder, cervical spine disorder, and neck strain as there was no evidence of a current disability related to service.
The deciding factor: There is no evidence that the Veteran has been clinically diagnosed with a thoracic spine disorder or that her symptoms are due to an event, disease, or injury in service. The VA examiner found that the Veteran did not have a thoracic spine disorder and there was no separate pathology of the thoracic spine.
