Denied
The Board denied service connection for left and right elbow tendinitis due to the lack of evidence showing a current diagnosis, while remanding the claim for skin cancer for further development.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the absence of competent medical evidence indicating a current diagnosis of bilateral elbow conditions and an inadequate VA examination regarding the skin cancer claim.
