Denied
The Board denied service connection for left wrist carpal tunnel syndrome, right wrist carpal tunnel syndrome, and bilateral shoulder disability as the evidence did not support a finding of a current disability or a link to military service.
The deciding factor: The persuasive evidence was against the claims due to lack of documentation of the claimed conditions during service and the long gap between service and onset of symptoms, which made it less likely that the conditions were incurred in or caused by service.
