Partly granted
The Veteran's service connection for left neck scar was granted, while the claims for left sciatic radicular pain, hypoesthesia, paresthesia of the left lower extremity, right ankle pain, and right wrist and hand pain were denied.
The deciding factor: The evidence supported a direct link between the current left neck scar and an in-service burn injury. However, there was no credible evidence to support the existence of current disabilities for the other conditions claimed.
