Partly granted
The Board denied service connection for a right shoulder disorder and a stomach disorder, but granted a 10 percent rating for a right anterior neck scar, status-post thyroidectomy, and a separate 10 percent rating for hypothyroidism.
The deciding factor: The evidence was not in approximate balance as to whether the Veteran's right shoulder disorder or stomach disorder were related to his active-duty service. However, the evidence was in approximate balance regarding the ratings assigned for certain disabilities.
