Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for headaches and denied increased ratings for left and right wrist carpal tunnel syndrome as well as a compensable rating for a right wrist scar from CTS surgery.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's headaches were found to be incurred during active service, while the manifestations of his carpal tunnel syndrome and right wrist scar did not warrant higher ratings based on their severity and impact on function.
