Partly granted
The Board denied service connection for a right shoulder strain and dismissed appeals for increased ratings of the nondisplaced fracture of the right index finger and tinea pedis. The issue of entitlement to service connection for a right knee condition was remanded.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a finding that the Veteran's right shoulder strain began during active service or is otherwise related to an in-service injury, event, or disease.
