Partly granted
The Board granted a disability rating of 30 percent for right upper extremity cervical radiculopathy and 20 percent for left upper extremity cervical radiculopathy, but remanded the claim for dysphagia.
The deciding factor: The evidence supported moderate incomplete paralysis in both the major and minor upper extremities, warranting higher ratings than initially assigned.
