The Board denied service connection for left arm nerve condition, right arm nerve condition, left hip bursitis, and right hip bursitis as there was no evidence linking these conditions to the Veteran's active service.
The deciding factor: There is no objective or lay evidence showing that any of the Veteran's claimed conditions were caused by service.
