The Board denied service connection for various disabilities, including an acquired psychiatric disability, alcohol abuse, a liver disability, and hand and eye disabilities, as the evidence did not support a finding that these conditions were related to service or secondary to any service-connected condition.

The Board granted earlier effective dates for the awards of service connection for various residual scars and a right eye disability, with an effective date of January 2, 2015, but no earlier.
