Partly granted

The veteran's claims for service connection for left knee condition and right thumb arthritis were denied. The claims for GERD, migraines, and dermatitis of the bilateral elbows were remanded for further evaluation.

The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran does not have a current diagnosis for the left knee condition and right thumb arthritis, and thus denied these claims.
