The Board denied service connection for bilateral hip, knee, leg, neck and upper back, and shoulder disabilities as the evidence did not support a finding of current disability or nexus to active service.

The deciding factor: The evidence weighed persuasively against finding that the Veteran had currently present bilateral hip, knee, leg, neck and upper back, and shoulder disabilities, and there was no credible evidence linking these conditions to his military service.
