Denied
The Board denied service connection for a left shoulder disorder, right shoulder disorder, back disorder, and neuropathy as the evidence did not support a finding that these conditions were related to the Veteran's military service.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner opined that the Veteran's current conditions are more likely due to post-service injuries rather than in-service events or diseases.
