Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for right thumb and right index finger disabilities, but remanded the claim for a skin disability due to insufficient evidence.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's right thumb and right index finger disabilities were incurred in service, as evidenced by multiple in-service treatment records. The skin disability was not adequately addressed in the previous VA examination, necessitating further development.
