Denied
The Board denied service connection for a bilateral congenital arm and wrist deformity disorder and an acquired psychiatric disorder, finding no evidence of in-service incurrence or aggravation related to the Veteran's service.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's congenital conditions were not aggravated by his time in service and that there was no evidence of an acquired psychiatric disorder manifest during service or related to a service-connected disability.
