Partly granted
The veteran's claim for PTSD was denied because they did not attend a scheduled VA examination. The claims for neck condition and bilateral upper extremity radiculopathy were dismissed due to improper docketing.
The deciding factor: The Veteran failed to report for a VA examination for PTSD, and the other issues were dismissed due to improper docketing.
