The Board has denied the appellant's claims of service connection for residuals of a right knee injury, residuals of a back injury, a mental disorder, and hypoglycemia as there is no competent medical evidence linking these conditions to his periods of active duty training or inactive duty training.
The deciding factor: There was no objective medical evidence provided by the appellant to substantiate that he currently has any of the claimed disabilities that were incurred during his periods of active duty training or inactive duty training.
