Denied
The Board denied service connection for the veteran's varicose veins, finding no evidence that they are related to service or secondary to service-connected diabetes mellitus or coronary artery disease.
The deciding factor: The Board found insufficient medical nexus evidence to establish a connection between the Veteran's service-connected disability and the current disability of varicose veins.
