The Board denied the veteran's claims for increased rating for recurrent dislocation of left (minor) shoulder, service connection for an upper back condition, and service connection for sarcoidosis.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not establish a link between the claimed conditions and service or any other basis for service connection.
