Denied
The Board denied service connection for a right thumb disorder, including as secondary to the service-connected right finger disability, based on evidence showing no in-service injury or disease and no nexus between the current condition and active service.
The deciding factor: The persuasive weight of the evidence does not support a finding that the Veteran's right thumb disorder is related to his active service or any period of ACDUTRA/INACDUTRA, nor was it caused or aggravated by his service-connected right finger disability.
