The Board has reopened the veteran's claims for service connection for arteriosclerotic heart disease and hypothyroidism, but denied service connection for these conditions. The veteran was granted a non-service-connected disability rating of 30% for his arteriosclerotic heart disease.
The deciding factor: The evidence submitted by the veteran did not establish that his cardiovascular disease or thyroid condition were present during service or within one year thereafter.
