The Board has denied the Veteran's claims for service connection for right knee condition, right hand condition (trigger finger surgery), nodular hyperplasia of the adrenal glands, and low back condition due to lack of evidence showing a nexus between these conditions and active service.
The deciding factor: The Board found that there is no evidence linking any of the Veteran's claimed conditions to his active duty service.
