Dismissed
The appeal for service connection for a back disability and neck disability was dismissed as moot, with full benefits granted. Other claims were remanded for further review.
The deciding factor: The claims for back and neck disabilities were dismissed due to the grant of service connection in prior decisions; other claims were remanded based on errors identified by the Joint Motion for Partial Remand (JMPR).
