The Board has denied the Veteran's claims for service connection for left and right upper extremity peripheral nerve disabilities, finding that there is no evidence to support a nexus between these conditions and his military service.
The deciding factor: The medical records do not show any in-service injury or disease related to the claimed disabilities, and the Veteran did not provide an explanation as to how or why these conditions were incurred during service.
