The Board denied service connection for a vascular disability, to include varicose veins, as the evidence did not support an in-service disease or injury and there was no nexus between the current condition and service.

The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a finding of an in-service disease or injury related to the vascular disability, nor was there a nexus between the current condition and service due to the lack of medical evidence linking it to service exposure or events.
