The Board has determined that the veteran's tendinitis of the left elbow originated during his military service and grants service connection for this condition.
The deciding factor: The post-service medical evidence, including a VA examination report and a clinical history provided by Dr. Hogan, establishes that the veteran's left elbow disorder began during his active duty.
