The Board denied service connection for right elbow disability, finding no current diagnosis separate from the Veteran's already service-connected right upper extremity radiculopathy.
The deciding factor: The evidence does not support a current diagnosis of a right elbow disability separate and distinct from the Veteran's service-connected right upper extremity radiculopathy with upper and middle radicular nerve group involvement associated with degenerative disc disease, cervical spine with foraminal stenosis w/upper neck/shoulder joint pain.
