Denied
The Board denied service connection for a right shoulder disability, finding that the evidence does not support a causal relationship between the current condition and any in-service injury or event.
The deciding factor: The evidence weighs against a finding of a nexus between the Veteran's current right shoulder disability and his active military service due to the long interval between discharge and onset of symptoms, lack of specific in-service incident, and natural aging process as an alternative cause.
