The Board denied the veteran's claim for service connection for residuals of a CVA, claimed as stroke, finding no evidence that the condition was incurred or aggravated during inactive duty training.
The deciding factor: There is no evidence to support the conclusion that the veteran's residuals of a CVA, claimed as stroke, are related to his instances of Army Physical Fitness testing, and no evidence of record supports the claim that the condition was incurred or aggravated during inactive duty training.
