Denied
The Board denied service connection for multiple myeloma, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, skin cancer, a prostate disorder, and a bladder disorder due to the lack of competent evidence supporting these claims.
The deciding factor: There was no medical evidence indicating the Veteran had any of the claimed conditions during the appeal period, and his lay statements were not sufficient to establish service connection without medical evidence.
