Partly granted
The veteran's claim for service connection for a left hand disorder and lumbosacral strain was denied. The claim for facial scars related to pseudofolliculitis barbae was granted.
The deciding factor: The Board found the Veteran's current left hand disorder and lumbosacral strain not related to service, but granted service connection for facial scars due to credible reports and service treatment records.
