Board reasoning
The Board found a current bilateral wrist pathology and an in-service injury, with lay statements indicating continuity of symptoms since service. Although some VA nexus opinions were negative, their reasoning did not address continuity of symptomatology as required, so the Board resolved reasonable doubt in the Veteran's favor and granted service connection for both wrists.
