The Board has denied the veteran's claims for service connection for a genitourinary disorder, stress, coronary artery bypass graft and abdominal aortic aneurysm repair. The decision is based on the lack of evidence supporting these conditions as being related to military service.
The deciding factor: There was no credible medical opinion linking any of the veteran's current health issues to his military service.
