Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claims for service connection for a lung disability, to include a collapsed lung or residuals thereof, and shin disabilities due to insufficient evidence of an in-service injury or disease.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support that the Veteran had a current disability related to his claimed conditions during active duty or training periods, nor was there sufficient evidence linking any current symptoms to service.
