Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for several disabilities, including left thumb, left wrist, right hip, back, and sciatic nerve conditions, but denied service connection for diabetes mellitus.
The deciding factor: The evidence supported a finding that the Veteran's left thumb, left wrist, right hip, back, and sciatic nerve conditions were due to active service, while there was no sufficient evidence to support a finding of service connection for diabetes mellitus.
