The Board has determined that the Veteran does not have chronic right knee or right shoulder/biceps disabilities related to service. As such, service connection for these conditions is denied.
The deciding factor: There was no evidence of a current disability linked to service and the VA examiner found no residuals from the in-service injuries.
