Denied
The Board denied service connection for both the right and left shoulder disabilities, stating that the Veteran did not show a causal or etiological relationship between these conditions and any disease or injury during active duty.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's claims were not supported by contemporaneous evidence and that the lay statements contradicted the medical records.
