The Board denied service connection for progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) and four other conditions, finding that these conditions were not incurred or related to service.
The deciding factor: The Board determined that the Veteran's claimed conditions did not have a link to their military service based on lack of in-service symptoms and absence of evidence linking the conditions to service.
