Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for carpal tunnel syndrome of the left and right wrists, finding that the Veteran's symptoms began during his active-duty service as a cook.
The deciding factor: The private medical report provided by Dr. G. S. supported a nexus between the Veteran's current wrist disabilities and his in-service duties involving repetitive heavy lifting.
