The Board denied the veteran's claim for service connection for a left shoulder disability, finding that there was no evidence of onset during active duty and no relationship to active duty.

The deciding factor: The weight of the evidence does not support a nexus between the current left shoulder disability and military service, as multiple VA examiners provided opinions that the claimed condition was not incurred in or otherwise related to service.
