The Board denied the veteran's claims for service connection for arteriosclerosis, generalized arteriosclerosis with claudication (secondary to PTSD), nosebleeds, and a detached retina of the right eye.
The deciding factor: The probative evidence did not establish that any of these conditions were related to the veteran's military service or a service-connected disability.
