The Board denied service connection for left knee and shoulder disabilities, remanded the issues of cervical degenerative disc disease, left hand disability, right hand disability, and anxiety and depression due to insufficient evidence.

The deciding factor: The lack of in-service treatment records and current diagnoses led to the denial of service connection. For the remanded claims, an addendum opinion was required due to deficiencies in the previous examination report.
