The Board granted service connection for left upper extremity ulnar nerve radiculopathy based on evidence showing the condition began during the Veteran's active duty and has continued since then.
The deciding factor: The Board found a current disability, in-service incurrence, and a causal relationship between the current disability and the in-service event, thus meeting all elements of service connection.
