Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for neck burn scars, left and right arm conditions manifested by pain and sensory impairment, and a sinusitis disability rating of 10 percent. The issues related to increased ratings and other service connections were remanded.
The deciding factor: The evidence supported the causal relationship between the Veteran's current disabilities and her in-service injuries or conditions, meeting all elements for direct service connection.
