The Board denied increased evaluations for shin splints and left index finger laceration but granted a 20% evaluation for the left shoulder strain. The Board also denied increased evaluations for adjustment disorder before January 27, 2021, and after that date.

The Board granted service connection for thoracic scoliosis and denied the claims for bilateral hearing loss, bilateral restless leg syndrome, an initial rating in excess of 10 percent for left index finger with limitation of motion and lacerated digital nerve, an initial compensable rating for left index finger scar, a separate rating for painful scar of the left index finger, evaluated as 10 percent disabling as of August 26, 2015, and an initial compensable rating prior to March 12, 2020, and in excess of 10 percent thereafter for dermatitis.

The Board has remanded the case due to a failure to obtain all relevant medical records from RTC Great Lakes Recruit Training Command, specifically those related to a left index finger injury and infection during service.

The Board denied the Veteran's claims for service connection for head injury, traumatic brain injury; psychiatric disability other than schizoaffective disorder; and an initial compensable rating for left index finger scar. The Board found no current residuals of a TBI or evidence of a psychiatric disability other than schizoaffective disorder. The left index finger scar was rated as noncompensable due to lack of painful or unstable characteristics.
