The Board found that the Veteran's right hip arthritis and right leg neuropathy were not incurred in or aggravated by service, nor could they be presumed to have been incurred due to exposure to any presumptive conditions. The claims for service connection were therefore denied.
The deciding factor: The medical evidence did not establish a link between the current disabilities and active duty service.
