Dismissed
The Board dismissed the veteran's claim for an earlier effective date for right upper extremity nerve damage and denied service connection for left wrist disability and right wrist disability.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a finding of chronic in-service conditions, continuity of symptomatology, or a nexus between current disabilities and active service for any of the claimed conditions.
