The appeals for service connection for right wrist, left wrist, and left knee disorders were dismissed as the Veteran withdrew them. Service connection was denied for cervical spine and thoracolumbar spine disorders due to lack of evidence supporting a causal relationship between the current conditions and military service.

The deciding factor: The claims were denied based on insufficient evidence linking the current conditions to in-service events, with no clear and unmistakable evidence of pre-existing conditions being aggravated by service.
