The Board denied service connection for various conditions, including high cholesterol or unspecified hyperlipidemia, tuberculosis (TB), traumatic brain injury, migraines, low back disability, neck disability, and others. The claims were not supported by sufficient evidence of a current disability related to the Veteran's military service.

The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a finding that any of the claimed conditions began during active service or are otherwise related to an in-service injury or disease.
