The Board denied service connection for neck, shoulder, low back, hip, headache, and tinnitus disabilities as there was insufficient evidence of a present disability or functional impairment related to the claimed conditions during or proximate to the pendency of the claim.
The deciding factor: There is no sufficient evidence of any present diagnosis related to the claimed conditions, nor are there symptoms or functional impairments associated with these conditions that can be linked to service. The Veteran did not provide medical evidence supporting her claims and missed scheduled examinations without good cause.
