Granted
The Board granted service connection for right carpal tunnel syndrome and rotator cuff tendonitis, finding that these conditions are due to the Veteran's service-connected lumbar myositis with radiculopathy.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner stated that the Veteran's use of a brace cane or crutch due to his service-connected lumbar spine disability was likely the cause of his right carpal tunnel syndrome and rotator cuff tendonitis.
