Partly granted
The Board denied an initial rating higher than 10 percent for residual scars from basal cell carcinoma and remanded the claim for service connection for a cervical spine disorder.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's scars did not meet the criteria for a higher rating, while there was insufficient evidence to establish a direct link between his current cervical spine condition and his military service.
