Denied
The Board denied service connection for a thyroid disability, finding that the condition did not onset in or during active service and was not aggravated by subsequent service.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a causal relationship between the Veteran's thyroid condition and his periods of active service, as medical opinions indicated no increase in disability beyond its natural progression during service.
