Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claims for service connection for scars, a skin condition, a prostate disability, and a heart disability. The claim for an effective date prior to December 31, 2012, for DEA benefits was also denied.
The deciding factor: The evidence of record does not support a finding that the Veteran's claimed conditions are related to his service.
