Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for a scar on the left second finger and remanded claims for chronic sinusitis, an acquired psychiatric disorder, and a cervicothoracic disability.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on credible reports of in-service injury to the left second finger resulting in a scar, while the other claims were remanded due to pre-decisional errors requiring additional evidence or examination.
