The veteran's claims for increased disability rating, service connection of residuals of scurvy due to World War II service in the Armed Forces of Poland, and service connection for dental treatment purposes were denied. The decision also addressed a remanded issue regarding service connection of residuals of scurvy due to aggravation by Korean War combat service.
The deciding factor: The veteran's claims were denied as there was no evidence of active military service with the United States Armed Forces during World War II, and his contentions regarding service connection for scurvy were not supported by competent evidence.
