The veteran's claims for service connection for right eye disability, hearing loss, abnormal thought processes, and lung disability have all been denied.,Service connection was not established for any of the conditions due to lack of evidence linking them to military service.
The deciding factor: The Board found no competent medical evidence connecting any of the claimed disabilities with the veteran's active military service. The claims were therefore denied as there is insufficient evidence to support a finding that these conditions are related to service.,Service connection was not granted for hearing loss due to lack of exposure to herbicides (PACT Act). Service connection was also not granted for abnormal thought processes and lung disability due to lack of exposure to specific agents or materials.
