Denied
The Board denied service connection for diabetes mellitus, kidney disease, liver disease, and hypertension as the probative evidence did not establish a link between these conditions and the Veteran's period of active-duty service.
The deciding factor: The VA medical opinions found that there was insufficient evidence to establish a nexus between the current diagnoses and military service due to lack of chronicity during or after service.
