Partly granted
The Board denied service connection for a neck and left shoulder disability but granted restoration of the rating for right and left lower extremity radiculopathy.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a finding that the Veteran had a current disability related to his service, while the reduction in ratings was found to be improper due to insufficient evidence of improvement.
