The Board granted service connection for left foot tinea pedis and remanded the claims for a higher rating for left knee painful motion, a compensable rating for left knee strain with limitation of flexion, and a higher rating for left shoulder strain.

The deciding factor: Service connection was granted based on evidence showing that the Veteran's left foot tinea pedis began during active service. The other claims were denied due to insufficient evidence linking the right shoulder and right knee conditions to in-service injuries or events.
