Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for service connection for bilateral lower extremity varicose veins, finding no evidence of in-service incurrence or a nexus to service.
The deciding factor: The Board found the Veteran's statements made during treatment more credible than his later statements and determined there was no evidence of an in-service onset of varicose veins.
