Denied
The Board denied service connection for a back disability, right elbow disability, right knee disability, and an acquired psychiatric disorder, claimed as PTSD and trouble sleeping.
The deciding factor: The evidence of record does not support the presence of a current disability at any time during or approximate to the pendency of the claim, and there is no credible evidence linking these conditions to service.
