Partly granted
The Board granted an initial rating of 30 percent disabling, but no higher, for the Veteran's service-connected neck pain and dysfunction.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's forward flexion was limited to 15 degrees or less, which corresponds to a 30 percent disability rating under the applicable criteria.
