Denied
The Board denied service connection for bone density loss and a hernia, finding that the evidence did not support a causal relationship between these conditions and the Veteran's active military service.
The deciding factor: The VA examiners found no evidence of an in-service injury or event causing the Veteran's bone density loss or hernia, and post-service medical records did not document these conditions for many years following his separation from service.
