The Board has denied the veteran's claims for service connection for various conditions, including left periventricular lacunar infarct, chronic low back disorder, residuals of dengue fever, and chronic heart disease. The evidence does not support a finding that these conditions are related to military service.
The deciding factor: The preponderance of the evidence indicates that the veteran's disabilities did not occur during his military service or are not due to any diseases or injuries incurred therein.
