The Board denied the Veteran's claim for service connection for diabetes mellitus, type II, as there was no evidence of chronicity in service or manifestation to a compensable degree within the applicable presumptive period.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a finding that the Veteran's diabetes mellitus, type II, was chronic in service or manifested to a compensable degree within the applicable presumptive period; continuity of symptomatology was not established; and the disability was not otherwise etiologically related to an in-service event, injury or disease.
