Denied
The Board denied service connection for the Veteran's left shoulder rotator cuff tear, fibromyalgia, and an eyesight condition due to a lack of evidence supporting a nexus between these conditions and the Veteran's active military service.
The deciding factor: The VA examiners concluded that there was no medical evidence suggesting a relationship between the claimed disabilities and the Veteran's military service, and the contemporaneous medical evidence did not establish continuity of symptomatology.
