The Board denied service connection for back, neck, right and left foot strains, tension headaches, pharyngotonsillitis, and right shoulder strain as the evidence did not support a finding of a nexus between these conditions and the Veteran's military service.

The deciding factor: The evidence did not show an in-service onset or relationship to service of the claimed back, neck, foot, and shoulder disabilities, nor was there credible evidence showing recurrent or persistent symptoms since service.
