The Board denied the veteran's claims for service connection for a sinus disorder and hypoglycemia, finding that there was no current disability related to these conditions and insufficient evidence linking them to her military service.
The deciding factor: There is no probative medical evidence showing a current disability or any link between the claimed conditions and the veteran's military service.
