Denied
The Board denied service connection for hypothyroidism and a right elbow disability as they are not related to the Veteran's service or any of her service-connected conditions.
The deciding factor: The VA examiners found no causal relationship between the Veteran's current disabilities and either her in-service experiences or her service-connected conditions, and the evidence did not support the claims for service connection.
