Denied
The Board denied service connection for bilateral hand, bilateral knee, low back, and bilateral shoulder disabilities as the evidence did not support a finding that these conditions began during active service or are otherwise related to his active service.
The deciding factor: The evidence of record does not persuasively weigh in favor of finding that the Veteran has current right or left hand, knee, low back, or shoulder disabilities that began during active service or are otherwise related to his active service.
