Partly granted
The veteran's claims for service connection for a back disability and headache disability were dismissed. The claims for an acquired psychiatric disorder and left shoulder disability were remanded for further action.
The deciding factor: The dismissal was due to improper docketing of the issues, and the remand was necessary to correct pre-decisional duty to assist errors.
