Partly granted
The Board denied service connection for a right ear hearing loss disability and chronic fatigue syndrome, granted service connection for a chronic right wrist sprain, and assigned a 10 percent rating for a left knee scar. The remaining issues were remanded.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support the presence of a current disability for the right ear hearing loss or chronic fatigue syndrome, while the Veteran's chronic right wrist sprain was found to be incurred during active service.
