The Board denied the veteran's service connection claims for various conditions, including prostate disorder, respiratory disorder, fever-related disorders, memory loss, fatigue and insomnia (other than as symptoms of PTSD), and peptic ulcer disease. The evidence did not support a finding that these conditions were related to military service.
The deciding factor: The medical evidence did not establish a link between the veteran's claimed conditions and his active service.
