Denied
The Board denied service connection for a left wrist disorder and a higher initial disability rating for bilateral shin splints.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show that the current left wrist disorder had its onset during service or was otherwise etiologically related to service. For the bilateral shin splints, there was no evidence of treatment requiring 12 consecutive months or unresponsiveness to conservative treatment.
