The Board denied service connection for a cervical spine disability and left shoulder disability, but remanded claims for a right clavicle disability, left elbow disability, right hand disability, and right shoulder disability due to new evidence being received.
The deciding factor: The cervical spine disability was not shown as chronic in service or manifest within the applicable presumptive period; continuity of symptomatology is not established; and it is not otherwise etiologically related to an in-service injury or disease. The other claims were remanded for further development due to new evidence being received.
