Partly granted
The Board denied a rating in excess of 20 percent for the Veteran's right shoulder disability and granted service connection for a chronic neck disability.
The deciding factor: Service connection was granted based on a relationship to the Veteran's service-connected bilateral shoulder disabilities, while an increased rating was not supported by the evidence.
