Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claims for service connection of cervical strain with intervertebral disc syndrome and left upper extremity radiculopathy, finding no evidence that these conditions were incurred in or caused by active military service.
The deciding factor: The Board found that there was no evidence supporting an in-service injury or event related to the veteran's current cervical spine disability and left upper extremity radiculopathy, and no medical nexus between his periods of active service and his current disabilities.
