Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for headaches but denied service connection for left knee degenerative arthritis, right hand osteoarthritis, and right shoulder degenerative arthritis.
The deciding factor: The evidence supported a direct link between the Veteran's in-service complaints and current headache condition, while there was insufficient evidence to establish a similar link for the other conditions.
