Granted
The Board granted service connection for a neck condition, left shoulder condition, and right arm radiculopathy as secondary to the cervical strain.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's conditions began during service and have continued since. The private medical opinions provided by the Veteran were found more probative than the VA medical opinions due to their comprehensive review of the evidence.
