The veteran's claims for service connection for urethritis, schizophrenia, and post-traumatic stress disorder were denied. The Board found that the evidence did not establish a current diagnosis of urethritis or link the diagnosed conditions to his period of active service.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show a current diagnosis of urethritis or establish a medical nexus between any diagnosed condition and the veteran's period of service.
