The Board has determined that the veteran's Peyronie's disease was not incurred in or aggravated during active military service, nor is it due to or aggravated by his service-connected gun shot wound or residuals thereof. Therefore, the claim for service connection is denied.
The deciding factor: There is no evidence of an in-service occurrence and no positive nexus opinion showing a relationship between the veteran's service-connected disabilities and his current diagnosis.
