The Board granted service connection for headaches and a separate 10 percent evaluation for left knee pain with limitation of flexion, while denying service connection for left wrist disability, right wrist disability, allergic rhinitis, LUE ventral scar, and left knee pain with limitation of extension.

The deciding factor: The decision was based on the evidence showing that the Veteran's headaches began during active duty service, whereas other conditions did not have sufficient evidence to support a finding of service connection or a compensable evaluation.
