Granted
The Board granted service connection for a right hand strain and a scar on the right index finger, both stemming from an injury incurred during active duty for training (ACDUTRA) or inactive duty for training (INACDUTRA).
The deciding factor: The Veteran's credible statements and supporting evidence established all three elements of service connection: current disability, in-service incurrence, and nexus.
