Denied
The Board denied service connection for multiple claimed conditions, including a cervical spine disorder, right elbow disorder, neurological disorder of the left upper extremity, respiratory disorder, low blood circulation in hands and feet, gall bladder disorder, and lower abdominal pain/gastrointestinal problems, as there was no evidence to support a link between these conditions and the Veteran's military service.
The deciding factor: The VA examiners found that the Veteran's claimed conditions were not chronic during or after service, and there was no objective evidence linking them to her military service.
