In the applicant’s case the Board must consider whether the VA ratings for the applicant’s ankles, knees and back are combat related. At that time it was stated that the applicant’s back pain had been documented since 1977. Based on this chronological review of the treatment the applicant received for his VA rated disabilities, it is evident that the applicant submitted insufficient evidence to show: a. that his shoulder pain should be approved for CRSC.
