The Board has denied the veteran's claims of service connection for various conditions, including kidney disorder, foot disability, menstrual disorder, left ear hearing loss, psychiatric disability, hypertension, eye disability, hemorrhoids, and sinus disability. The evidence does not support a finding that these conditions were incurred or aggravated during active military service.
The deciding factor: The medical records do not provide sufficient evidence to establish the presence of any of the claimed disabilities during service or to link them to service.
