Denied
The Board denied service connection for left shoulder strain as it is not shown to be causally or etiologically related to any disease, injury, or incident during service.
The deciding factor: The October 2024 VA examination concluded that the Veteran's current left shoulder strain was due to non-service factors and there is no medical opinion to the contrary.
