Partly granted
The veteran's claims for service connection for right wrist DeQuervain's syndrome and TBI residuals were granted. The claim for a compensable disability rating for right knee strain was denied, but a separate 10 percent rating for painful flexion was granted. All other claims for increased ratings were denied.
The deciding factor: The Board resolved reasonable doubt in the veteran's favor for the granted claims based on the evidence and applicable regulations.
