Partly granted
The Veteran's neck disability was granted an initial rating of 20 percent prior to March 12, 2021. The other issues are remanded for further development.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the evidence supported a higher 20 percent rating for the neck disability prior to March 12, 2021 due to limited range of motion and pain on movement, but remanded the other issues for additional development.
