The Veteran's claims for residuals of a left leg injury and a disability manifested by diarrhea and vomiting are dismissed as there is no controversy at issue.,Service connection for right shoulder osteoarthritis, rotator cuff tear, and biceps tendinitis is denied due to lack of evidence showing the conditions began during service or were related to an in-service injury or disease.

The deciding factor: The Veteran's current left leg symptoms are already evaluated under different diagnoses (left knee arthritis, radiculopathy, peripheral neuropathy), and there remains no controversy or justiciable issue for adjudication.,There is no evidence showing the right shoulder conditions began during service or were related to an in-service injury or disease.
