Partly granted
The Board denied service connection for right and left foot drop, granted service connection for a right shoulder strain, and denied service connection for TBI. The claim for TDIU was dismissed.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support the conclusion that the Veteran's foot drop or TBI were related to his service, while there was sufficient evidence to grant service connection for a right shoulder condition based on in-service complaints of pain and strain.
