The Board denied the veteran's claims for service connection for beriberi, a condition manifested by fever, a condition manifested by fear, malaria, and pulmonary tuberculosis. The Board found no evidence of current disabilities related to these conditions and concluded that they were not incurred in or aggravated by the veteran's active service.
The deciding factor: The medical records did not show any diagnoses for the claimed conditions after separation from service, and there was no evidence of a continuity of treatment post-service. The Board found that the veteran's disabilities began many years after his separation from service and were unrelated to his period of active service.
