The Board denied service connection for several conditions, including perifollicular ingrown hairs, mixed hyperlipidemia, diabetes mellitus, type II, kidney disease, erectile dysfunction, gout, and hypertension. However, it remanded claims for readjudication of right shoulder strain/pain, right knee pain, swollen joints in the right lower extremity, lumbar spine disability, and an acquired psychiatric disorder.

The deciding factor: The decision was based on a lack of evidence supporting service connection or a need for further development of certain claims.
