The Board denied service connection for various bilateral conditions, including shoulders, knees, legs, hands, elbows, and feet, as the evidence did not support a link to the Veteran's active duty service.

The deciding factor: The VA examiner opined that the Veteran's bilateral shoulder and knee disabilities were less likely as not related to his active duty service, and there was no evidence of any diagnosed disability or disorder of the Veteran's legs, hands, elbows, feet, or skin on his feet during the pendency of his claims.
