Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for a neck disability, left hand and wrist disabilities, TBI, left upper extremity radiculopathy, and residuals symptoms of heat stroke. The claim for CAD was denied due to the absence of a primary service-connected mental health disability.
The deciding factor: The evidence established that the Veteran's claimed conditions were at least as likely as not related to his active duty service or secondary to a now service-connected condition.
