Granted
The Board granted service connection for a right wrist condition, to include carpal tunnel syndrome, based on the Veteran's credible reports of pain and weakness since service.
The deciding factor: The clinician's opinion provided a basis for the Board to conclude that the Veteran's reported pain and weakness could have been due to the in-service onset of carpal tunnel syndrome rather than the softball injury, leading to the grant of service connection.
