The Board granted a 10 percent rating for the right wrist scar and denied an increased rating for right wrist median neuritis, service connection for PTSD, and service connection for a bilateral foot disorder.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a higher rating for the right wrist median neuritis or service connection for PTSD and a bilateral foot disorder due to insufficient in-service evidence and lack of medical nexus. However, the Veteran was granted a 10 percent rating for the right wrist scar as it met the criteria under DC 7801.
