Granted
The Board granted service connection for left and right wrist carpal tunnel syndrome, finding that the conditions were caused by the Veteran's active duty service.
The deciding factor: The August 2023 VA medical opinion concluded that the bilateral carpal tunnel syndrome was at least as likely as not incurred in or caused by the claimed in-service injury, event, or illness.
