Denied
The Board denied service connection for left and right upper extremity carpal tunnel syndrome, finding no evidence of the conditions during or near the time of the Veteran's service. The claim for an acquired psychiatric disorder was remanded for further development.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a current diagnosis of either CTS condition, and there was no credible link to in-service events.
