Dismissed
The Board dismissed the claims for service connection for diabetes mellitus, right leg amputation, left leg amputation, and back disorder due to the Veteran's passing and the Appellant's decision not to seek substitution before the Court.
The deciding factor: The evidence does not support a finding of service connection for any of the claimed conditions as there is no probative medical opinion linking them to the Veteran's military service.
