Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for right upper extremity (RUE) cervical radiculopathy and remanded the claims for hypertension, heart condition, prostate condition, and G6PD deficiency.
The deciding factor: The RUE cervical radiculopathy was granted on a secondary basis as it is medically attributed to the Veteran's service-connected cervical spine arthritis. The other claims were remanded due to inadequate medical opinions regarding potential Gulf War exposures.
