The Board denied service connection for right foot pain with corns, left foot pain with corns, and pain of the right shoulder. However, it granted an evaluation of 70 percent for depressive disorder and generalized anxiety disorder.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a finding that the Veteran's bilateral foot pain with corns or right shoulder pain began in or was otherwise etiologically related to her active service. The Board found that the VA examiner's opinion, which reviewed the complete claims file, was more probative than the private medical opinion.
