The Board denied service connection for a right shoulder disability as there was no evidence of a current disability during the appeal period or proximate thereto.

The deciding factor: The lack of medical evidence supporting a diagnosis of a right shoulder disability and the absence of functional impairment of earning capacity due to pain were key factors in denying the claim.
