The Board has denied the veteran's claims for service connection for defective vision, MI residuals, left ear hearing loss, arthritis, CVA residuals, ED, and depression. The evidence does not support a finding of current disabilities related to these conditions that are linked to military service.
The deciding factor: There is no medical evidence showing current diagnoses or a causal relationship between the veteran's claimed conditions and his period of active duty.
