Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for a left shoulder disability and remanded the claims for service connection for a neck strain, esophageal cancer, and headaches.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's left shoulder disability was found to have a nexus to his in-service injury. The other claims were remanded due to insufficient evidence or required further development.
