The Board denied service connection for a left shoulder and neck disability as there was no evidence of current disabilities during the appeal period.

The deciding factor: There was no competent evidence to support the existence of current left shoulder or neck disabilities, nor any symptoms associated with these conditions since the 1971 vehicle collision during service.
