The Board denied the Veteran's claim for service connection for a chronic right shoulder pain disability, and remanded claims for left wrist, left hip, right hip, and lumbar spine disabilities.

The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a finding of a current right shoulder disability or that his right shoulder pain reached the level of functional impairment in earning capacity. The Board also found clear and unmistakable error in the favorable findings of pre-existing lumbar spine disability and remanded for additional development.
