The Board has denied the veteran's claims for service connection for left leg and left arm injuries, finding no current disability and insufficient evidence to establish a link between any in-service injury and his current conditions.
The deciding factor: There is no competent medical evidence of current disabilities or a causal relationship between in-service injuries and current symptoms.
