Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for right wrist carpal tunnel syndrome and denied service connection for left wrist rheumatoid arthritis.
The deciding factor: The evidence was at least in equipoise that the Veteran's right carpal tunnel syndrome is related to service, while there was no persuasive evidence linking the left wrist condition to active service.
