The Board denied service connection for the veteran's claimed conditions, finding that they were not incurred or aggravated during his active duty due to his own willful misconduct in a motorcycle accident.
The deciding factor: Service connection was denied as the veteran's injuries and disabilities are attributable to his own willful misconduct in a 1984 motorcycle accident.
