Denied
The Board denied service connection for various musculoskeletal conditions, including a back condition and shoulder, knee, and ankle conditions, as the evidence did not support a finding of current disability or a link to in-service events.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not persuasively weigh in favor of a finding that the Veteran had any of the claimed conditions causing functional impairment of earning capacity at any time during or approximate to the pendency of the claim.
