The Board denied service connection for various disabilities, including a back disability, neck disability, right pelvic disability, left ankle disability, right ankle disability, left shoulder disability, right shoulder disability, left knee disability, and right knee disability.

The deciding factor: The evidence did not support the Veteran's claims that his current disabilities were related to service, as there was no documentation of in-service complaints or treatment for these conditions, and the first documented complaints occurred many years after separation from service.
