Denied
The Board denied service connection for right elbow strain with tendinopathy as the evidence did not support a finding that the Veteran's current condition was related to an in-service injury or otherwise related to service.
The deciding factor: The persuasive weight of the evidence does not support a finding that the Veteran's right elbow strain is related to an in-service injury or otherwise related to service, based on medical opinions and the lack of continuity of symptoms post-service.
