Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for migraines and tension headaches, right carpal tunnel syndrome, and left carpal tunnel syndrome. It denied earlier effective dates and initial ratings for various conditions related to the lumbosacral spine and lower extremities.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's current disabilities are directly linked to his active military service based on medical evidence and credible lay statements.
