The Board has denied service connection for low back, left hip, and right hip conditions. The claims of service connection for left hand tremors and right hand tremors are remanded.,Service connection was not granted for the Veteran's claimed low back, left hip, and right hip conditions due to lack of evidence linking these conditions to his military service.
The deciding factor: The Board found that there is no competent medical evidence linking the Veteran's current diagnoses (low back pain, left and right hip pain) to his active military service. The Veteran did not have documented symptoms or injuries related to these conditions during service.,Service connection was denied as there was insufficient evidence to establish a link between the Veteran's current diagnoses and his military service.
