Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claims for an increased rating for diabetes and service connection for cataracts, hyperhidrosis, obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), voiding dysfunction, and a muscle disorder, all claimed as secondary to coronary artery disease or diabetes.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support that the Veteran's conditions were caused or aggravated by his service-connected CAD and/or diabetes, nor was there any indication of an inservice toxic exposure risk activity (TERA).
