Denied
The Board denied service connection for the veteran's neck, back, and bilateral lower extremity radiculopathy disabilities. The Board also denied service connection for bilateral shoulder disability.
The deciding factor: The evidence of record persuasively weighs against finding that the Veteran had these disabilities at any time during or approximate to the pendency of the claim.
