The Board has granted service connection for the Veteran's right/dominant hand, right finger, and right hand nerve damage conditions on the basis of direct service connection due to an in-service injury.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's current disabilities were related to his in-service injury as explained by his private doctor.
