Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claims for service connection for numbness in the fingers, skin disorder, impotence, gynecomastia, and hypertension. The evidence did not support a nexus to service.
The deciding factor: There was no medical evidence linking any of the conditions to the veteran's period of active service.
