Granted
The Board granted service connection for left ankle, shoulder, and wrist conditions based on the Veteran's in-service injuries and ongoing symptoms.
The deciding factor: The benefit of the doubt rule was applied to resolve reasonable doubt in favor of the Veteran, as his lay statements and medical opinions supported a nexus between his current conditions and his in-service injuries.
