Denied
The Board denied the claim for service connection for carpal tunnel syndrome of the right upper extremity as new and relevant evidence was not submitted to prove a link between the condition and military service.
The deciding factor: The evidence received did not address the etiology of the Veteran's CTS, failing to establish a medical nexus to her military service.
