Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claims for service connection for diabetes mellitus II, heart disease, hypertension, and a skin/rash disorder as there was no evidence to support that these conditions were related to his military service.
The deciding factor: The lack of evidence showing an in-service injury or disease, and the absence of a nexus between the claimed conditions and service, led to the denial of the claims.
