The Board denied service connection for the veteran's claimed right shoulder, lumbar spine, right hip, left hip, and right foot disabilities as there was no evidence of an in-service injury or disease, and the current conditions were not shown to be related to service.

The deciding factor: The evidence persuasively weighed against a finding that any of the claimed disabilities had an onset in service, manifested within one year of service discharge, or are otherwise related to service.
