Partly granted
The Board denied service connection for a right sciatic nerve condition and remanded the claims for service connection for right upper extremity carpal tunnel syndrome and an acquired psychiatric disorder.
The deciding factor: The evidence does not support a finding of a current disability, and there is no adequate rationale provided by the VA medical opinions regarding the Veteran's claimed conditions.
