The Board denied the veteran's claims for service connection for a left shoulder disorder and a right shoulder disorder, as there was no evidence of an in-service injury or disease related to these conditions, and no evidence linking them to his military service.

The deciding factor: There is no evidence of an in-service injury or disease related to the claimed shoulder disorders, nor any evidence linking them to the veteran's military service. The Board found that the Veteran was not competent to provide a medical opinion on the etiology of these conditions.
