Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for left upper extremity radiculopathy as secondary to the Veteran's service-connected neck disability, resolving doubt in favor of the Veteran. The claim for right upper extremity radiculopathy was remanded due to insufficient evidence.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on a positive medical opinion linking the left upper extremity radiculopathy to the service-connected neck disability, while further development is needed for the right upper extremity radiculopathy claim.
