The Board has denied the Veteran's claims for service connection for various disabilities, including bladder disability, thyroid disorder, recurrent leg sore residuals, bilateral lower extremity neurological disability, hysterectomy residuals, sleep disorder, and psychiatric disability (claimed as memory loss), finding that there is no evidence of a relationship between these conditions and service or any other service-connected condition.,The Board concluded that the Veteran's reported symptoms do not meet the criteria for service connection based on the lack of competent medical evidence linking her disabilities to service or any other service-connected disability.
The deciding factor: The Board found no credible evidence supporting a relationship between the Veteran's claimed disabilities and her military service, including VA examinations that did not support the Veteran's assertions.,The Board also noted that the Veteran has not provided competent medical evidence to support her claims for service connection.
