Partly granted
The Board has denied service connection for several conditions, including ADHD, right ear hearing loss, G6PD deficiency, intestinal disability, eye disability, and others. However, the Board has granted service connection for cervical spine arthritis.
The deciding factor: The evidence does not support a finding of current disability or nexus to service for most claims; however, there is evidence that cervical spine arthritis manifested within one year of separation from service and was not attributable to intercurrent causes.
