Partly granted
The Board denied service connection for right wrist, left wrist, right hip, left hip, and right ankle disabilities but granted service connection for right knee and left knee patellar instability. The claims for a right shoulder, right elbow, and left elbow disability were remanded.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the lack of evidence linking the claimed conditions to the Veteran's military service or any service-connected condition, with the exception of the knees which had an in-service onset and continuity of symptoms.
