The Board granted service connection for right and left shoulder disorders as secondary to the Veteran's service-connected cervical spine disability with bilateral radiculopathy, but remanded issues related to increased ratings for cervical radiculopathy and TDIU.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the finding that it is at least as likely as not that the Veteran has symptomatic manifestations of right and left shoulder impairment secondary to his service-connected cervical spine disability with bilateral radiculopathy.

- Denied
The Board denied service connection for various conditions, including a head injury, headache disorder, erectile dysfunction, left earache disorder, chronic fatigue, right shoulder disorder, irritable bowel syndrome, right foot disorder, GERD, and left shoulder disorder, as the evidence did not support current diagnoses of these conditions.
- Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claim for service connection for a right shoulder disorder, including bicipital tendon tear, rotator cuff tear, and tendinosis, as there was no evidence of an in-service injury or chronicity of symptoms to support a direct link between the current condition and active duty.
- Dismissed
The veteran withdrew the appeal for all service connection and rating issues, and the Board has no jurisdiction to review these matters.
