The Veteran's lung disability is denied as there was no evidence of a chronic condition in service or otherwise shown to be associated with his active service, including asbestos exposure.,The Veteran's residuals of TBI are denied as the preponderance of the evidence does not support a finding that he has current residuals from an in-service motorcycle accident.,The Veteran's back disability is denied as there was no evidence of a chronic condition in service or otherwise shown to be related to his active service.,The Veteran's right upper extremity, neck, and bilateral lower extremities disabilities are denied as the preponderance of the evidence does not support a finding that they began during active service or were otherwise related to an in-service injury or disease.

The deciding factor: There was no chronic lung disability shown in service or otherwise associated with asbestos exposure.,The Veteran's current residuals from his motorcycle accident are not supported by the evidence, as there is no current diagnosis of TBI and no neurological residuals were found during examination.,No chronic back disability was shown in service or otherwise related to an injury or disease in service.,There is no evidence of a chronic condition in service for the right upper extremity, neck, or bilateral lower extremities disabilities.
