Partly granted
The Board granted higher ratings for the Veteran's service-connected carpal tunnel syndrome and cubital tunnel syndrome of both upper extremities, but remanded claims for service connection for sinusitis, calcified lymph nodes on the lungs, and cervical strain.
The deciding factor: The severity of the Veteran's bilateral carpal tunnel syndrome and cubital tunnel syndrome was found to be moderate, warranting increased ratings. However, there is insufficient evidence to support a grant of service connection for the other conditions at this time.
