The Board denied service connection for left and right elbow, shoulder, and foot conditions as the evidence did not support a current diagnosis or nexus to service. The tension headache claim was remanded for further development.
The deciding factor: The most probative evidence of record does not show that the Veteran has had an elbow condition at any time during the current appeal, and there is no credible indication that his shoulder and foot conditions may be associated with his service. The Board finds that the persuasive weight of the evidence is against the claims.
