Denied
The Board denied the claim for service connection for a deviated septum, finding that there was no evidence supporting a nexus between the Veteran's deviated septum and his military service or alcohol use disorder.
The deciding factor: The weight of the evidence is against a relationship between the Veteran's deviated septum and either his military service or alcohol use disorder.
