Granted
The Board granted service connection for right shoulder strain, left shoulder strain, and bilateral shin splints based on new and relevant evidence.
The deciding factor: Service connection was granted due to the existence of a current disability and its nexus to the Veteran's service, as supported by medical records and lay statements.
