Denied
The Board denied service connection for right and left shin splints, finding that the evidence did not support a causal relationship between the current disabilities and in-service injuries.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner's opinion was based on an accurate medical history and provided clear conclusions supported by data, concluding that post-service events were more likely causes of the Veteran's disability.
