Denied
The Board denied service connection for bilateral carpal tunnel syndrome, finding that the evidence did not support a link between the condition and the Veteran's military service.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner concluded that it is less likely than not that the Veteran's CTS was caused by in-service events or exposures, citing common causes of CTS such as heredity, repetitive hand use, and occupational risk factors.
