The Board granted a 60 percent rating for cervical strain, with traumatic arthritis and degenerative disc disease. The claim of reopening the service connection for bilateral shoulder disability was also granted.

The Board denied the Veteran's claim for a total disability rating based on individual unemployability due to service-connected disabilities, as the evidence did not show that his service-connected disabilities alone were of such nature and severity to preclude him from securing or following substantially gainful employment.

The Board granted the restoration of a 20 percent rating for cervical strain from October 1, 2024, and denied compensable ratings for bilateral hearing loss, scars on both knees, upper extremity radiculopathies, and service connection for wrist disorders.

The Board denied service connection for bilateral hearing loss and an initial compensable rating for hemorrhoids. However, the Veteran was granted a 50% rating prior to June 12, 2024, and a 100% rating from that date forward for his acquired psychiatric disability.

The Board denied the Veteran's claims for increased ratings for cervical strain and right upper extremity radiculopathy, and remanded claims for an initial rating in excess of 10 percent for a right wrist sprain and service connection for a lumbosacral strain.
