The Board denied service connection for a kidney condition and a bladder mass, but remanded claims for benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH), coronary artery disease, left ankle, right ankle, left knee, right knee, left hand, and right hand conditions.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show current diagnoses of the claimed conditions during or proximate to service, and there was no sufficient link established between the in-service exposure and the current conditions.
