The veteran's claims for service connection for bronchitis, hypertension, and PTSD were denied. The Board found no current disability related to these conditions, and the stressors claimed by the veteran for PTSD could not be verified.
The deciding factor: Service records did not show any diagnosed disabilities or stressors that would support the veteran's claims for service connection.
