The Board denied the veteran's claims for service connection for ovarian cysts, an endometrial disability, and obesity with low back pain. The evidence did not show any current disabilities related to these conditions in service or due to service-connected conditions.
The deciding factor: There was no showing of current disabilities related to the claimed conditions in service records or linked to service-connected conditions.
