Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for cervical strain with radiculopathy and denied an evaluation in excess of 50 percent for major depressive disorder with anxious distress.
The deciding factor: Service connection was granted based on new evidence, while the denial was due to the lack of sufficient evidence to support a higher rating for the mental health condition.
