Partly granted
The Board denied service connection for PTSD and remanded the claims for degenerative disc disease of the cervical spine, left upper extremity radiculopathy, and right upper extremity radiculopathy.
The deciding factor: The claim was denied due to a lack of a current diagnosis of PTSD, and the remands were required to correct predecisional duty to assist errors in the cervical spine claim.
