Granted
The Board granted a rating of 30 percent for the Veteran's cervical spine disability and a rating of 40 percent for his radiculopathy of the right upper extremity, resolving all reasonable doubt in favor of the Veteran.
The deciding factor: The weight of the competent evidence supported findings that the Veteran's conditions manifested in functional limitations equivalent to unfavorable ankylosis and moderate incomplete paralysis respectively, warranting higher ratings than currently assigned.
