Denied
The Board denied service connection for right and left knee disabilities, chronic back pain, a headache disability, and a right shoulder disability with secondary neuropathy due to insufficient evidence of current disabilities related to in-service injuries or events.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support the finding that the Veteran's claimed conditions were incurred in or are otherwise related to service based on the absence of relevant medical records and the lack of credible lay statements.
