The Board granted the reopening of a previously denied claim for service connection for left wrist carpal tunnel syndrome and remanded it for further development.
The deciding factor: New and material evidence was presented to reopen the claim, as the Veteran testified that he injured his left wrist in basic training, which is related to his service-connected laceration on his little finger.
