Granted
The Board granted service connection for thoracic outlet syndrome, finding that the Veteran's symptoms began in service due to overuse of his arms during deployment.
The deciding factor: The Board found a positive nexus between the Veteran's in-service symptoms and his current diagnosis based on lay statements and the October 2024 VA examiner's note.
