Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claims for service connection for left and right shoulder disabilities, as well as left and right upper extremity carpal tunnel syndrome, due to a lack of evidence linking these conditions to his military service.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a finding that the Veteran's shoulder disabilities or carpal tunnel syndrome were related to an in-service injury or disease, and there was no continuity of symptomatology established.
