Partly granted
The Board denied service connection for a left second digit metacarpal fracture and remanded the claims for a left fifth digit metacarpal fracture, tinnitus, and peripheral vascular disease.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show the Veteran had a current disability of a left second digit metacarpal fracture. The AOJ's previous findings were found to be clearly and unmistakably erroneous.
