The Board granted service connection for right hand tremors, finding that they are secondary to the Veteran's service-connected shoulder disability.
The deciding factor: The evidence is in approximate balance as to whether the Veteran's right hand tremors were permanently worsened by the service-connected right shoulder disability prior to the pendency of the appeal.
