Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for a neck disorder and dismissed the appeal for a right ankle disorder, while denying increased ratings for left ankle sprain, cervicogenic headaches, and other conditions.
The deciding factor: The denial of increased ratings was based on the lack of evidence supporting more severe symptoms or functional impairment than those already compensated by the current ratings.
