Partly granted
The Board denied service connection for right eye, loss of sight and remanded the claim for a right thumb disability due to insufficient evidence.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a finding that the Veteran's right eye condition was related to his military service. A VA examination was needed to determine the nature and etiology of any right thumb disability.
