Denied
The Board denied service connection for a heart disorder, right knee disorder, osteoporosis, pituitary brain tumor, and skin cancer as the evidence did not show that these conditions were causally or etiologically related to any disease, injury, or incident in service.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner's opinions found no nexus between the Veteran's claimed conditions and his military service due to lack of in-service evidence and post-service medical evidence supporting a connection.
