The Board denied service connection for arthritis, Parkinson's disease, and an acquired psychiatric disability but remanded claims for a breathing condition and skin condition for further development.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support the presence of a current disability or a link to in-service events for any of the conditions claimed by the Veteran.
