Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for loss of use of bilateral upper extremities and right dominant hand, but remanded the claim for pulmonary neuromuscular disease.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms were found to be related to his cervical spine surgery complications, while a thorough medical opinion was needed for the pulmonary neuromuscular disease claim.
