The Board denied the veteran's claims for service connection for hepatitis and other conditions, including right knee disorder, lumbosacral strain, headaches, left ear hearing loss, sinusitis, wrist ganglion cysts, and tinnitus. The veteran was granted service connection for gastritis and a left knee disorder.
The deciding factor: The medical evidence did not support the veteran's claims for hepatitis or other conditions.
