Denied
The Board denied service connection for a psychiatric disability, to include depression and duress, and a right shoulder disability. The claims for back, right knee, and left knee disabilities were remanded.
The deciding factor: There was no evidence of a current diagnosis or in-service incurrence of the claimed conditions, and the Veteran did not meet the threshold for service connection under applicable laws and regulations.
