Granted
The Board granted service connection for left upper extremity carpal tunnel syndrome and ulnar nerve entrapment at Guyon's canal and a lumbosacral strain, finding that both conditions were incurred during the Veteran's period of active service.
The deciding factor: The private medical opinions provided evidence linking the current disabilities to injuries sustained during active service, and the Board found these opinions highly probative in favor of the claims.
