The Board denied service connection for sleep disorder, psychiatric disorder, residuals of a fractured right fifth finger, and right elbow disorder. The claim for right cubital syndrome was remanded.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not relate to an unestablished fact necessary to substantiate the claims or raise a reasonable possibility of substantiating them.

- Denied
The Board denied service connection for various conditions, including a head injury, headache disorder, erectile dysfunction, left earache disorder, chronic fatigue, right shoulder disorder, irritable bowel syndrome, right foot disorder, GERD, and left shoulder disorder, as the evidence did not support current diagnoses of these conditions.

- Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claim for service connection for a right shoulder disorder, including bicipital tendon tear, rotator cuff tear, and tendinosis, as there was no evidence of an in-service injury or chronicity of symptoms to support a direct link between the current condition and active duty.
- Dismissed
The veteran withdrew the appeal for all service connection and rating issues, and the Board has no jurisdiction to review these matters.
