Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claims for a higher rating and service connection for various conditions, including left shoulder disability, erectile dysfunction, poor balance, weight gain, and right shoulder disability.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a finding of entitlement to a higher rating or service connection for the claimed conditions due to insufficient medical evidence indicating current disabilities or a link between the claimed conditions and active service.
