The Board has determined that the veteran's claims for service connection for high blood pressure/lung condition and amoebic dysentery have been denied as they are not well-grounded.
The deciding factor: The evidence does not support a current diagnosis of either condition, nor is there sufficient medical nexus evidence to establish their relationship with service.
