Denied
The Board denied service connection for pheochromocytoma, hypertension (HTN), heart condition, and diabetes mellitus, type II due to a lack of evidence linking these conditions to the Veteran's military service.
The deciding factor: The probative evidence did not support a finding that any of the claimed conditions were related to the Veteran's active service or incurred as a result of an in-service injury or disease.
