The Board granted service connection for peripheral neuropathy of the sciatic nerve in both lower extremities and a psychiatric disorder, but denied service connection for Raynaud's disease, muscle pain, degenerative arthritis, peripheral neuropathy of the ulnar and musculocutaneous nerves in both upper extremities, squamous cell carcinoma, and migraines.
The deciding factor: The Board granted service connection based on the evidence indicating a relationship between the claimed conditions and the Veteran's military service or a service-connected disability. The denial was due to insufficient evidence of a current disability for Raynaud's disease and other conditions.
