Denied
The Board denied service connection for arthritis of the bilateral hands, left shoulder disability, and right shoulder disability as there was no evidence to support a current disability or a relationship to service.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not establish a current disability or a link between the claimed disabilities and service, including any inservice injuries or conditions.
