Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for the veteran's neck condition and dismissed the claim for irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) as fully granted, while remanding the claim for left upper extremity radiculopathy as secondary to the neck disability.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner provided a positive nexus opinion linking the Veteran's current neck condition to her active-duty service, and the RO had already granted service connection for IBS in May 2023.
