Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for service connection for brachial plexus injury, finding that the evidence does not support the contention that the injury occurred during a scheduled IDT.
The deciding factor: The Board found the evidence more persuasive than the Veteran's statements and supporting lay statements, as it did not show he was on active orders or in the line of duty at the time of the injury.
