Denied
The Board denied service connection for a right elbow disability and a left hip disability as there is no evidence of a current disability or symptoms related to these conditions during the pendency of the claim. The issue regarding a right shoulder disability was remanded due to an alleged duty to assist error.
The deciding factor: The probative evidence did not support the conclusion that the Veteran had ever been diagnosed with a right elbow or left hip disability, and there were no indications of current disabilities related to service.
