The Board has determined that there is no evidence of a current disability related to service for fibromyalgia, right shoulder and arm disability, left shoulder and arm disability, neck disability, low back disability, right hip disability, left hip disability, right knee and leg disability, or left knee and leg disability. As such, the Veteran's claims for these conditions are denied.,The Board has also determined that there is no evidence of a current psychiatric disorder related to service. The Veteran's claim for this condition is denied.

The deciding factor: There is no competent medical evidence linking any of the claimed disabilities to active service, and the preponderance of the evidence is against each claim.,The Veteran has not provided credible evidence that his current psychiatric disorder is related to service. The Board finds that there is insufficient evidence to support a finding of service connection for this condition.
