Denied
The Board denied service connection for left elbow, right hip, right ankle, and right knee disabilities as the weight of evidence did not support a finding that the Veteran had current chronic diagnoses or functional limitations during the appeal period.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show any diagnosed chronic left elbow, right ankle, right knee, or right hip disability contemporaneous to the claim period, nor was there sufficient medical evidence linking these conditions to service.
