The Board denied service connection for a neck disorder, right foot disorder, left foot disorder, residuals of a traumatic brain injury (TBI), and memory loss as there was no evidence to support the claims.
The deciding factor: The probative evidence did not show that the Veteran had current diagnoses or in-service incurrences for any of the claimed conditions.
