The Board denied service connection for various knee, leg, shoulder, hip, neck, and ankle disorders as the evidence did not support a finding of a causal relationship between these conditions and the Veteran's active-duty service or any service-connected disability.

The deciding factor: The evidence was not in approximate balance and did not show that any of the claimed conditions were related to an in-service injury or illness or caused by a service-connected disability.
