Partly granted
The Board denied service connection for hypertension and denied increased ratings for peripheral neuropathy of the left upper extremity and a left shoulder disability. The claims for back pain were remanded.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a finding of current hypertension, mild incomplete paralysis was found for the peripheral neuropathy, and no significant limitation in function or severity was shown for the left shoulder condition.
