The Board granted service connection for residuals of a left wrist injury, left calf scar, and right elbow lateral epicondylitis. The claims for residuals of a left calf injury and left shoulder impingement syndrome were remanded.
The deciding factor: The evidence was approximately balanced that the Veteran's claimed conditions began during his active duty service, with the exception of the left calf injury and left shoulder impingement syndrome which required further development.
