The Board has determined that the Veteran's claimed chronic neck, right shoulder, and right testicular disorders are not related to his active service. The Veteran's chronic acquired vision disorder is denied as there is no evidence of current disability.
The deciding factor: The medical evidence does not support a finding that any of the claimed conditions were incurred or aggravated by active service.
