In this paper, we consider the oscillatory behavior of the second order neutral delay differential equation

where t ≥ t0,T and σ are positive constants, a,p, q € C(t0, ∞), R),f ∊ C[R, R]. Some sufficient conditions are established such that the above equation is oscillatory. The obtained oscillation criteria generalize and improve a number of known results about both neutral and delay differential equations.
