The Board has granted service connection for left shoulder tendonopathy and allergies including allergic rhinitis, but denied service connection for knee disorder, right elbow disorder, and right finger disorder due to lack of evidence linking these conditions to service.
The deciding factor: The veteran's current diagnoses do not meet the criteria for service connection as there is no medical evidence showing a link between his current conditions and service.
