The Board granted service connection for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) with anxiety disorder, unspecified, and depression but denied service connection for a left hand fingers condition, right wrist condition, and remanded the claim for migraines (headaches).
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a finding that the Veteran's left hand fingers condition or right wrist condition were related to their active duty service. The Board also found that the Veteran was due a VA examination for her headaches as she had not been rescheduled for one.
