Denied
The Board denied service connection for left wrist, right elbow, and left elbow disabilities, as well as an initial compensable rating for left knee osteoarthritis and Raynaud's disease.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show that the Veteran had a chronic disability of the left wrist or either elbow at any time during the pendency or proximate to the filing of her claim. For the left knee, there was no pain or limitation of motion shown, which is required for a compensable rating.
