The Board has determined that the veteran's nosebleeds are not related to his military service and have denied his claim for service connection.
The deciding factor: The evidence does not establish a nexus between the veteran's nosebleeds and his military service, as there is no medical opinion linking them to any injury or disease incurred during service.
