The Board has determined that the Veteran does not have a current leg disorder, lung disorder, urinary disorder, or prostatitis related to service. The claims for these conditions are denied.
The deciding factor: The evidence does not support a finding of a current disability for any of the claimed conditions and there is no direct evidence linking them to service or an incident of service origin.

What this means for you
A final Board denial may be appealed to the U.S. Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims, generally within 120 days of the Board mailing date. A Supplemental Claim with new and relevant evidence is a separate option. Another Higher-Level Review of the Board decision is not available. Check your own notice: this historical decision does not set your deadline.

- Whole decision: Remanded (sent back)
The Board has decided to remand the case due to a lack of adequate examination and opinion regarding the Veteran's claimed chronic bronchitis. The Veteran is seeking service connection for this condition, which was denied in an initial decision. The VA examiner did not address the medical record indicating a current diagnosis of chronic bronchitis.
- Whole decision: Dismissed
The Board has dismissed the appeals for service connection for depression, Gram Positive Cocci Condition, chronic bronchitis, irritable bowel syndrome, and diseases of Keratinization due to untimely filing of the Decision Review Request.
- Whole decision: Granted
The Board has granted service connection for chronic bronchitis, finding that the Veteran's current condition is related to his active duty service.
- Whole decision: Dismissed
The appeal seeking to establish entitlement to a TDIU prior to July 30, 2019 and basic eligibility for DEA under 38 USC chapter 35 is dismissed as the pending Legacy system appeal fully encompasses and exceeds the scope of this AMA version of the issues.
