Denied
The Board denied service connection for a right wrist disorder, right elbow disorder, and right shoulder disorder as the evidence did not show that these conditions were related to an in-service injury or disease.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's reports of onset during service lacked credibility due to no documentation of symptoms during service, specific denials at separation, and first reports being contemporaneous with application for service connection.
