The Board has denied the veteran's claims of service connection for right shoulder pain, chronic low back pain, right knee pain, and right foot pain. The evidence does not support a finding that these conditions were incurred or aggravated during active duty.
The deciding factor: There is no evidence of current disabilities or in-service incurrence of the claimed conditions.
