The Board denied service connection for right knee injury residuals, asthma, acquired psychiatric disability (to include depression and posttraumatic stress disorder), epidermis removal, kidney stones, hypertension, transient ischemic attacks, cardiovascular disease, and a right lung disability.,There is no evidence of any chronic right knee disability during active duty or within one year after separation. The appellant's current right knee disability was not related to an in-service injury or disease.,The Board found that asthma did not manifest during active duty service and there is no indication it is related to an in-service disease or injury.,There is no evidence of a psychiatric disability during active duty service, nor within one year after separation. The appellant's current acquired psychiatric disability was not linked to his military service.,Epidermis removal was not noted in service records and there is no indication it is related to the appellant’s active service.,Hypertension did not manifest during active duty or within one year of discharge, nor is there any evidence linking it to an in-service disease or injury.,Transient ischemic attacks were not present during active duty or within one year after separation. There is no indication that post-service transient ischemic attack or its residuals are causally related to active service.,Cardiovascular disease did not manifest during active duty or within one year of discharge, nor is there any evidence linking it to an in-service disease or injury.,A right lung disability was not present during active duty or within one year after separation. There is no indication that the current right lung disability is causally related to active service.

The deciding factor: The Board found insufficient medical evidence to establish a link between the appellant's claimed conditions and his military service.
